ABS or speed sensor is going bad.

IMHO: I'd put my money on a bad ball joint. Tire is moving in ways it shouldn't which results in squeel you describe and lose of traction as well as what I imply from your post that the car feels like it is shifting.....which really it is.

Jack the car up and see if the wheel moves in/out at the bottom. Also see if there is escessive play left/right (tie rod) to check that. OR take to a good shop to diagnose.

ball joinds are new, so are the abs sensors but i sprayed some MAF cleaner on that sensor but i doubt it can do any thing, could it be the CV joints

Maybe I'm off base, just seems like something's moving. I know on older Gen Max's (ie 3rd gens) the upper strut bearing/assembly would wear and tear allowing upper strut movement. Again, what about tie rod ends?

CV joints are part of the axle and simply allow the axle to move with the constant variations in wheel turning (left/right) and suspension travel (up/down).

Any update? ABS sensor still seems like a possibility.
