Yes bushings or some thing worse . Have a friend turn the wheel while you look under the front end to see what’s loose may have to hold with hand to tell.

LIFT UP FRONT END WITH A JACK. HOLD THE TIRE AND SHAKE IT SIDE TO SIDE AND UP AND DOWN. IF IT MOVES. MOST LIKELY TIE ROD END BUSHINGS. IF THE WHEEL BEARING ARE BAD. YOU WOULD HEAR A GRINDING SOUND ALL THE TIME. THE BEARINGS WILL GET HOT AND FAIL. TIE ROD ENDS CAN FALL OFF THE CAR. FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
