is the vibrations only when you turn one way? Do you feel the vibrations when your stopping or any indication that it could be from your brakes?

sounds like a loose axle nut or maybe even a strut bolt loose
jack the front end off the ground and see if either wheel is loose

i dont think youd really get vibrations though from a sway bar. I only really got a banging sound when mine went
