'93 Hond Accord EX tire shuddering on accel. from stop
 
My car has vibration in passenger front wheel when I accelerate from stop, and coming out of left hand turns. It is like a shuddering, and shakes the entire vehicle. I had hoped that it was the outer tie rod end which would be an easy fix for me. My friend who knows something about cars checked the vehicle, and said his guess was that it was a bad bearing. He pulled on the tire, and showed me that it was a bit loose, I mean moved. I checked my Haynes manual to see how to replace the bearing, but I can't see where that instructional part is located. I am not even sure that the bearing is the problem. Needless to say I want to get this problem fixed before it becomes a problem that is going to sideline me. So any guidance of where I might look, or things I might do to move forward on diagnosing this issue would be appreciated.

Best if you can locate the looseness, by shaking the wheel.
Upper or lower ball joints?

I usually check for a bad bearing by driving at hwy speed, and then steering lightly right and left to load the bearings on and off. See if you have any changes in the noise.
While you are out on the road, at highway speed going straight and level, lightly step on and off the gas to see if you feel or hear a 'rumble'; that would indicate an inner CV joint.

If the wheel was loose by pulling on it while stopped, then I think it has to be a balljoint or wheelbearing.

Maybe it ALSO has a bad inner CV joint.
