Default steering issue?

i have a problem with my steering but i dont think its the ISS because everyone else says theres clunks when it ***** the bed. It only happens when i am slowing down and turning at the same time. I get a vibration it almost feels like my wheel is loose or something. Anyone have any ideas?

I've had all 4 wheel bearings replaced and both rear replaced twice now. the first time you could hear the bearings when in a parking garage sounded like brakes rubbing. The 2nd time they cause a noise/vibration while i was driving. Kinda sounded like a bad tire at highspeeds

Ya it sucks. You would think they(GM) would find the problem and fix it, instead they just put the same damn part back in.
