83 300sd front left side shake.

Hello everyone! I need help with my front end wobbling. You see around the speeds of 35-45 my front left side shakes. Also if i take and loosen or tighten the bolts on the tire the tire can noticeably move a little left to right "as in left to right when im facing the tire". not a whole lot but a little and you feel a small clunk. It shakes my steering wheel but VERY little when it shakes when driving. It stops when i Brake. I assumed wheel bearings. I replaced the wheel bearings "pressing everything in right lubed bearings and what not" that did VERY little. I then noticed my shock was loose VERY loose I tightened it back up and that helped a little it seems but not a lot. I was thinking perhaps another part of the suspension was loose? Or maybe the spindle or knuckle needed to be replaced? The spindle didnt seem to have and wear on it. I honestly don't have much of a clue on what to do! My only to thoughts are maybe i botched the bearing replacement but that seems unlikely cause when the cars jacked up and the wheel is on i cant move the wheel only a large amount of forced seems to make it move left to right. Or the suspension pieces that connect to the part that holds the rotor and hub and caliper and what not is loose or one of the joints is shot. One of the joints close to the caliper did seem to be a little old. Sorry i didnt think to take pictures and now its dark I can get pictures tomorrow of the pieces im talking about any help or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated. This forum has helped me with A LOT so far I really appreciate it!!!!
