With the front end on jack stands, you can go under the car and have someone move the wheel and be able to see both the ball joint and tie rod. Check them for movement.
I had the same issue with mine. It was the wheel bearing. The bearing was fine, I just greased it and tightened it up to the manual specs. I don't know the specs off hand, sorry.
