i have a gmc yukon slt,year 2000,4wd. i had my brakes by a non-certified mechanic and
since then my front drivers tire wobbles and after the tire was changed out it makes a loud

Oh please don't drive in this condition. Sounds like they did not reinstall parts as they should have been. Have it towed to your local brake shop and inspected. This could cause more damage or even injury/death if it comes apart while driving. Please have some one look at it ASAP.
do you have any idea what it could possibly be?
i am trying to diagnose the problem so i can buy the right parts for it and take the right course of action
Not exactly sure about your model but most have four bolts that hold the brake caliper bracket in place. This assembly also holds your front bearings in place and lined up with your driveshaft. Your abs sensors are mounted on the back side of it. This wobbling would cause the sensors not to read properly and cause the abs light to come on.
Check the main nut on the end of the axle it could have been left loose. Jack truck up and grab wheel on either side and shake it. You should be able to tell what is loose or broken by doing this.
I have 2001 gmc yukon slt and my starting doing that and i needed a new wheel hub. Just saw this is 4 years old lol. What did the problem turn out to be?
