Thumbs down Loose front end..Bad suspension?

My front end feels really loose and when I hit bumps it feels like its falling apart..Also makes weird sound while moving..Could axles be issue or something else?? Feels same on both sides

Rear CABS will cause knocking and wandering as the wheel moves forward and back during acceleration and braking. Mine were so bad before I changed them that when I loosened the wheel nuts the wheel moved an inch or so.

Its the rear bushing on the front arm. Not the rear suspension which has a torsion beam.

sway bar end links, control arm bushings or shitty steering column that makes it feel like car is loose and is going to fall apart when going over bumps at slow speeds.... I'd try in that order
