Please alow me a few moment to gather the information please?

I would actually expect it's possible the wheel bearing is the issue. It's also possible the tire is, but if you have different tread depths, that could indicate it's going to need a wheel alingment. I would rotate this tire to the back and see if the condition is the same, if it is, then have the alignment and wheel bearing checked.

 Sometimes you can't make the wheel bearing move as you weigh quite a pit less then the car. But it's a place to start, especially if there is any noise with this.

I would get it checked out at a shop, this could up being something dangerous and it's not worth having a accident. It could be anything from a wheel bearing, cv axle or some suspension part. a trained tech will be able see something normal person might not.

That actually may be more of a strut type of issue. I don't think the alignment would do that and unless it's got a cv joint binding I can't think of anything else. I will say I see a lot of the inner boots on the cv shaft on the right fail, so check that closely. It will look fine, but see if it's split. It could be a dried out tulip joint causing this.

no the alignment will not cause that,  there is many things on the front suspension that can cause it , not all bad wheel bearings make noise even tho they normally do.

 For you to know it's that side though, it's got to be making some sort of noise.  I would move that tire to the rear and see if there is any change first, sorry, takes me a moment to type

Is there anything else I can help you with today?

One moment please?

Just going to say that could point to a strut issue. That would likely compress the spring and struts pretty good.

With what you have described here this sounds like an issue with the right fro t wheel bearing/hub assembly itself. It will start to develop slack in it which causes the wobble feel and can also cause odd wear with the tire.

I recommend to have the wheel bearing/hub checked for any issues with excess play or damage. I also recommend to have the control arm bushings and ball joints checked over for any issues. Most of the time it is the hub/bearing that has to be replaced
