shot wheel bearing possibly?

Jack the car up, and try to jerk the wheel back n forth... if there is play, get your wheel bearings checked out.

ok problem has come again
only when i hit big bumps . the screws start to come loose im not to sure if its the wheel bearings or whatever but i have taken photos of the screws and the holes i was wandering if anyone knows the length of the bolts that i have taken photos of just incase if there longer i might have to get new ones

That's the right length. How are you tightening it? You can't get enough torque with a normal screwdriver. I do them up with a hand impact driver or a battery-powered driver. Make sure you use some loctite.

Could be that the threads are slightly worn that even if you do them up tight they come loose easily. I'd use loctite blue or green, which is the light or medium strength threadlocker.
