Does it happen when you turn at low speed?

pretty much all the time its not the brakes i just replaced them and it did it before hand too. Im thinking it maybe a wheel bearing but thats just a hunch. It does it going highway speeds too sometimes.

Check your CV boots. If they are torn or cracked, and dirt gets in there, it will cause the bearings inside to go bad. I assume this is the front?

I would say CV boots or bearings...I had a similar problem a while back. I checked absolutely everything, before finally breaking down and taking it in to a mechanic. It was actually a disk in the brake caliper that had warped, which he said was common in subies around my year, because they made the part out of ceramic instead of urethane (or the other way around). Bottom line, if you can't find anything else check this last.
