Hi so I noticed a lot of slip in my wheel and it made a noise and made the car vibrate on the passenger side, replaced wheel hub drove it and now it still has play in it while my driver side does not. But it is not making the car vibrate or as bad noises as of right now it’s just a high pitched scretch

I will add it also goes in and out and also moves the axel
 
Well I noticed a like wiggle coming from the passenger side front wheel when I drove and a terrible vibrate. So I jacked the car up shook the tire and it felt like the whole tire was abt to fall off. Took the tire off axel out everything like that pressed the old hub out pressed the new one in and bam put that sucker back together

You torqued the axle down to spec? If hub still feel loose after all this look for obvious defects. Bad balljoint, tie rods etc. Possible new hub is bad. I assume you didnt pound it in place.
 
There's 3 ball joints and 5 bushings (one upper control arm and 2 lower) at each wheel on the 2gNT's... Make sure you're looking closely at all of those as you shake the wheel. Maybe get someone else to shake the wheel while you look closer.

You just need to hurry up and locate the issue since you're still driving the car. I had a ball joint failure on mine and it popped the tire and broke the axle, and if I were going any faster I would have likely flown off the road and crashed. I actually think I remember reading somewhere that there was a ball joint recall on our cars... or maybe that was for Subaru's but I don't think so.
 
If anybody’s following this thread I replaced the following products all control arms,bushings ball joints, every suspension part other then springs, new axles,Roters, brake calipers, as well however I got a new wheel hub and it did the same thing so I went back got another brand and it hasent done anything since.👍👍
