Check tie rod ends.......check boots on ball joints too, check for wear on those, and for wheel bearings being loose. Any cracked boots or wear, replace them.

Me? tie rods got some play, but not ball joints, grease boots are cracked so I am rebuilding entire front end. I want to be in there once and once only.
