    I have a 98 Pontiac Grand Prox GTP,
    About 8 months ago I replaced the hub assemblys and did them myself, A real pain in the but that was. I also had the outer tie rod ends replaced as well and took that to a shop to have done. I have also had a front end alignment done and had shocks inspected and I can now take my hands and put them on the top of the tires and pull out and feel looseness in the hubs but, when I take the car to the shop to have them look the hubs wont move at all when up on the lift. while driving home the other night I felt the vehicle glide like it was on ice and there was no ice on the ground and it felt like the front wheels were going to fall off. I get home and pull on the tires again and thier fine. I am at a real lose here not sure what to check now but I know its a scary feeling what happened the other night while driving home... Please anyone with any expertise in this area help.....
    Thank you

    I do have some squealing coming from the front end not a loud type but I do hear it when the windows are down. I have not checked for tightness of the hubs or sway bar links yet but will..

    Checked the power steerring fluid a week ago and it was fine. The steering is responsive when either going left or right but the gliding is what I don't know about

    Get it up on a hoist and check the engine cradle bushings. If they are corroded and worn out you will get exactly what you described. No matter how you do it, it's not a cheap fix.
