Default Driver side front issue

so last weekend I changed the drivers side front bearing, lower control arm and putter tie rod. At first I didn’t notice anything wrong but on my 45 min drive home at speeds much higher then city (50km) there was a wobble and when I used the breaks they pulsed on that side. Could the bearing have not ceated properly or could the rotor be shot? Before doing the bearing there was no wobble and no pulsing.

To to clarify I changed the same parts on the passenger side the weekend before and rode great.

Go back & re-check everything you've done.

I have done that a few times now. I just checked it and when I loosened off that 1 inch 1/4 centre nut there was quit a bit of play between the main hub and the other side of it. (I’m no mechanic so using lamens terms cause that’s all I know)
