Thank you. Now what exactly it is with those components, I don't know.
By the way, When I got a wheel balance, they did mention two of my wheels were bent (one in the rear and I forgot which other one they said)
But they said this BEFORE the issue arised, so it can't be that- unless they just got worse from all the hard bumps I'm facing here in Michigan now after moving

just curious before i try to tear alls that apart and swap sides why so sure thats the problem? couldnt be anything else? and i looked at the picture of the guys in that link to the diy how does it even happen? does it happen over time or just once time since its just a little dip in the metal just dont know how that part interacts with the other parts could you enlighten me please 
thanks for your help again
also why did it start all of a sudden very noticable and not gradually? and the car only has a little over 30k miles how did it wear out so soon?

Noone can tell you 100% if that is it. BUT thats what its pointing at. Read the thread because there is alot of good info to add to the DIY like...
You dont have to take off the axle , just pull it away from the cup after you unbolt the cup and undue the metal strap. REUSE the metal strap. Only thing you have to buy is the axle grease ( $10.00 +/- ) and the tool (autozone) that helps drop the lower ball joint. You can buy it for $14-17 or rent the whole kit from autozone for $99.00 , use it and return the rental for a FULL refund. Thats what I did.
And yes it does start right out of the blue. 1 day mine drove just fine and the very next day I felt what you talking about. I looked around here on s2ki and found that thread. I just changed them around about 5 days ago and it fixed it. Its 10000000 X better. I only have 52,000 on my car. It took me a few hrs to change them because it was my 1st time doing it but if I had to do it again, I could change them in less then 1 1/2 hrs still taking my time.
just do it.
