Wow. That's a lot. Your ball joints won't wiggle with the car on the ground. I would bet that's tie rod ends. It is easy to tell by either looking at the tie rod end while some one does that, or putting your hand on the tie rod end and you can feel one side moving while the other is not. Your ball joins may be bad as well, and other parts too, but to test ball joints you need unload the force on them. It is a little more involved test. I am not sure the best way to test those.
