Remove rear drums and front calipers and check for any loose parts, or brackets not bolted down, make sure slide pins are working.
Place front rotor on flat surface and make sure it is not warped.

Also, Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.
