Pulling Hard Right
 

I have done a search on this topic and learned a good deal already, but I am needing some clarification on a couple of points. My 1979 300 SD has started pulling hard right. I want to check the tie rods and ball joints for play/slack/bend/breaks. I have never examined these parts before and am not entirely sure what to do. I prefer to do the work myself and have the floor jack, jack stands. What is the best method for examining all of these elements?
