Front suspension/drivetrain fubared? So I took the car on a 1200 mile trip this weekend, 560 miles one way from here to Vegas. On the way there I noticed a light intermittent rubbing noise when making semi-tight turns at lower speeds but I made it there fine. The car sat at the hotel garage until Monday when I left for home. It got gradually worse but it was all freeway so I only noticed it once or twice when I stopped for gas. I made it 2 towns over or 10 miles from home when I stopped to eat and then it was BAD. It felt like it was really binding up on making right turns and there was a bad scraping sound. I limped it home making all the left turns I could (lol). I try to back up out of the garage yesterday and the car wouldn't move even with throttle. The driver side wheel has a ****** **** load of negative camber when pointed straight and when I turn the wheel to the sides the whole wheel assembly "pops" and acts weird. My service ABS, traction, and stability lights are flashing and the brake pedal will sometimes go all the way to the floor. I'm stumped as to what the EFF it could be. I didn't get any pot holes or anything so I don't see how it could be tweaked. I'll be calling roadside assistance probably tomorrow as soon as I get a chance to deal with it, had two exams and another one tomorrow so it'll have to wait a day or two!
Anyone else experience something like this?

Got my girl back today, bad hub. Hub assembly was replaced and rotor resurfaced as it had been scored. I keep on wanting to sell her but after a few days of being away and seeing her again I was surprisingly happy to get her back. Figures, haha.
