long time since ive posted but have an update.lol ended up being the tire. somebody must have ran this tire the opposite direction. tire had a lot of tread left but a big bubble in it and the metal was sticking out. swapped it out for my non alloy spare which also has good tread.the car isnt bouncing as bad but there is still a vibration. now im wondering if from driving with that bubble for so long messed up the hub bearing? its tolerable but annoying still.cv's are fine,mid 70's so deff not ice or snow on the tire.lol rims not cracked, tire is good. cant think of anything else besides the hub bearing. unless maybe a shock? idk that would be kind of odd.should i even bother with a used hub bearing or just buy new?
