On C4's, a bad rear u-joint can cause wiggle when you grab the tire if you happen to be in plane with the bad trunnion (where you grab the tire). much cheaper to fix, obviously.

Years ago I bought a set of front hubs from Pep Boys,U.S. made and the set was $200.Never had a problem.The average price now for OEM fronts is about $300 apiece.
