My car has been shuddering under braking for a while now and today it turned into a rattle and clunk coming from the drivetrain that is so bad it feels like a wheel is going to fall off on the freeway. I can feel it when there is a sharp acceleration or deceleration and even at slow speeds bumps can cause it as well. Also, because my wheels are a bit unbalanced it is exceptionally bad over 70mph. Here is a video of the extra play there is.

Can't download the clip but, when was the last time you checked your brakes?

I would also check your suspension and control arms.

Do you have coilovers with height adjusters in addition to preload?

But yeah brakes are fine, I double checked them but either way it doesn't feel like a brake problem anymore.

Shot bushings, worn top hats, busted strut bearings, worn out ball joints, bad dampers, or sagged springs.

EDIT: after watching the vid. Wheel bearings or tie rod ends if the knuckle is moving with the wheel
