Default Front end issues

My front end was clicking when I turned it left or right and it just didn't feel right while driving and I unhooked the front end vacuum going to the actuator and my steering felt a lot better but know there's a vibration in the front end but stops when I hit the brakes the vibration was there before I unhooked the vacuum I'm thinking my actuator may have locked up and I have a bad wheel bearing in the front end my front end is also leaking front behind the actuator real bad could the cause it to lock up all replies appreciated if I'm on the right track thank you for ur time and replies

words of wisdom, dodge front ends are the worst... might be a bad cv joint, if you start hearing a crunching noise its too late. the joints could be leaking out oily grease also.

did you turn your steering at all to check the joints first?
