Default 07 5.9 Wobble when wheel left of center.

Ok, so I know what death wobble is, and this is not it. Just recently between 20-40 mph, the drivers side has a hell of a shake. Over 40 it goes to a grind feel.

No having a look, there is some small gouges on the brake rotor on the wheel side. Would that be enough to only shake when the steering wheel is left of center?

When I turn the wheel right of center, all the vibration goes away until I hit about 50 mph, then there is just the slight grind feel.

It is speed related, so I know it it something in the rotation.

Any ideas?

Either axle u-joint or wheel bearing hub.
