I think its the bearings. Audi bearing is diferent, its double in one. you wont get the play as the regular cars get. If bearing goes bad, its not becouse of extra wear, its becouse the bearing pass is damaged, like peace of the thing is taken out. hard to explain.
basic test is loading the tire with G force on turns, The test is oposite to turning, turning Left loads up the right bearing.
The suspended tire, and checking for free play, you check diferent thing. if A arm is suported by a woon block, the ball bearings can be checked by trying to move the tire in vertical. in horisontal you check the tie roads. when suspended and not suported, and tire is not driven tire, like front tires of a rear wheel drive car, then you can check the bearings for free play, but again its not checking for if the bearing is bad or not.

Had the same problem, replaced the bearings and the stabilizer link. Check the stabilizer link first and if its that the part is real inexpensive. If not then probably the bearings.
