pulsation when I brake not the norm
so my bearings are good I replaced my driver side brake disc ball joints replaced tie rod replaced car drive straight does not pull to the left or right when I hit the brakes it pulsates when I go over very light bumps you hear a sort of knocking aka looseness I'm thinking lower control arm any other thoughts out there because I've replaced everything else oh yeah if I go over light bulbs and I have my foot on the brake lightly there is no feeling of looseness or knocking sound

Definite suspension problem, A weary wheel can come from ball joints loose steering components or motor mounts on some cars.
Pulsating when braking usually comes from a warped rotor or decaying caliper bushings, hung caliper piston.
People like to pad slap cars these days. Finding someone to machine the rotors is hard to find. The pad life is reduced and the rotor ages faster warping comes fast as well.

but let's not forget guys when I go over speed bump at an angle the right car goes over the bump nice and clean the left side driver side goes over you can hear some rattling some looseness like something definitely Warren that's why I'm thinking Warren bushings or something to that effect I mean there is a knockin type of metal knocking sound on very very light bumps when going at slow speeds what is that noise it's definitely not my caliper
