Default Worse case?

When turning the rig sideways on the trailer the front right tire got stuck. It moved further outside than it normally does I guess what I'm trying to say it the wheels were no longer parallel and I think I heard a pop. I cant find anything wrong and the wheel went back into place without much effort. I wonder if the front bearing is screwed up? I rode it pretty fast afterward to see if the wheel would fall off and it didnt.

jack it up and try to move it from side to side, make sure all lug nuts are tight, check your tie rod ends, because there was a recall on the 425 magnums tie rod ends. not sure if you got it done or not. and then you can check your wheel bearings

while its jacked up check the tie rod ends good for any play like he said. you dont want it popping off at any speeds or it will be real bad. i dont know if theres a stop on the steering post or not but maybe give that a look see to see if that broke or popped over the stop. just a thought.
