1) Either your wheel bearing is destroyed OR you have a loose axle bearing! Check the axle nut ASAP. It tightens with a 33mm socket. (P.S. Sears Craftsman no longer sells this socket - Ask me how I know!) If that axle nut is loose, you could have a catastrophic axle failure. You state 1/4 inch play. THAT IS BAD! You may also have destroyed your axle bearing. The bearing is cheap at sobstory.com, but you will need to press the old one out and the new one in. Any Saab dealer can do that. So can machine shops, but if they do it wrong they can kill the bearing resulting in a second failure.
2) You also seem to have a bad CV joint on that side. This is less serious but quite annoying. Get a newly rebuilt axle CHEAPLY from Jim Moncrief at Sobstory.com. He is "Da' Man."
