depends on suspension style on the car, a wheel bearing would be unstable at those sppeds but not that unstable. It seems like you have a more serious issue at hand.

k this has to be something obvious!

anyways i have seen wheel bearings go where it has oblonged the stud holes. Anyways jack up that corner of the car and wiggle the wheel side to side in both up and down and side to side to see movements in suspensin components. This will give you a good indication of what has gone bad! Also it depends if you have loaded or unloaded lower control arm, where done the strut mount to? chassi to hub? chassi to lower control arm ?

are you asking me how or where you can take it? There is an obvious answer where you can take it as there is a number of dealer/independant/frnachise repair shops.

If a shop can't fix your issue there is seriously something wrong with them.
