[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16282245, member: 195778"] Can you give us some detailed examples/descriptions of the conditions and the symptoms? When you say the front end feels all over the place, my first thought is directional front tires grabbing ruts in the pavement and hard braking will only emphasize that. Being that you're in Chicago (I'm in Milwaukee) it's a good possibility given our road conditions. Losing traction all together would certainly require a combination of factors (standing on the brakes, good amount of speed, no ABS...etc) so that seems unlikely IMO. If the front end appears to be in a good shape as you mentioned, maybe consider taking it somewhere reputable for a simple alignment. $100 versus $1200+ on a big brake kit... A bad tie rod or ball joint, for example, might look okay at a glance, but it'll prohibit a proper alignment and unless the shop is okay with sending you out the door with a dangerous vehicle, they should let you know.
