I am guessing you dont have standard wheels fitted. Suspect incorrect size. If standard sounds like you have front end damage altering the steering geometry.

Power steering pump has gone out. You will need to replace your power steering.

Bad ball joints. check out front end and make sure nothing else is bad. Good lucka nd thanks for using FIX YA
SOURCE: replace front wheel bearing
its actually pretty easy if you have the basic tools needed and a little mechanical knowledge, because i dont think you can buy just the bearing at a auto parts store. they sell you the whole hub assembly which is great for the DIYer.
lift the car off the ground and block it from rolling and place a jack stand under it so it cant fall on anyone.

SOURCE: front and strut replacement, how?
Yes, you need a spring compressor. The sturt and coil spring come off as one. Then you need to compress spring to remove strut. The old one off and the new one on and then un-compress the spring and remount in car.
Sounds simple, but it can take a while.

Make sure that u get all the air out by turning the steering wheel from left to right.. And most important make sure the power steering fluid is for GM product.
Hope this helps..
