I lifted the car last night. It looks like both tie rods assemblies and the drag link are bad.

I don't get much play in the lower ball joint except in the vertical direction when pushing up from directly under the tire. The rubber boots on the ball joints don't look too bad. This a sign of a bad lower ball joint?

I am not clear how to check the upper control arm. What else should I check before ordering.
