Time to jack up the front end and check for something loose. Could be many different things from loose lug nuts or wheel bearing to a tight u joint in the knuckle.

Did you place a pry bar and try moving it or did you just try this with your bare hands? You won't likey find it without some force. Take the wheel off along with the brake caliper. You obviously have an issue you just need to keep looking.

Checking at 12 and 6 o'clock with a prybar is best, as deere country stated. No more than 1/8" of up and down play ad zero side to side play is what you are looking for in ball joints.
Check the knuckle u joints for tightness by supporting front wheels off ground, turn steering wheel full lock and rotate each front wheel by hand, while watching the knuckle. Ujoint should turn freely.
