Arrow two problems...

first, whenever it rains real hard or i wash my car, my windshield wipers will come on when the switch is off. they wont go off until everything on the car dries, so im thinking something is getting wet when its not supposed to and somehow making the windshield wipers come on. anyone think they know what could be wrong? or has someone had this similar problem?

second, my front wheels hop real bad when i merge to the left or make a wide turn to the left. i heard this might be my axle bearings, any input on this?...

Check the connector on the wiper motor for water ingression. Could be the switch, also, being the gremlin that it is...

How old are the ball joints? If the bearings are going, they should be making a rumbling sound. Jack that wheel off of the ground and see what kind of play you can get out of her, then try to diagnose from there...

where is the wiper motor, and what kind of rumbling do you mean. it rumbles, the steering wheels wobbles, making it hard and annoying to merge from lanes and stuff, it also shakes some when i get on the brakes...

maybe u should check the wiper motor connect as WAYNE88N/A said... sounds like the likely culprit.
