Jack up each front tire.

Put one hand on top and one hand on the bottom and try to rock it. Do the same from side to side.
If it's really loose and you get a lot of movement don't drive it anymore.
If it's stiff and movement is minimul and your sure the joint is ok for now then drive it but plan on fixing it soon.
