I just jacked each front wheel up and checked for play--there is a small amount on the front right tire. That's also the wheel that needed a new ball joint badly, so I guess everything on that side got worn through pretty thoroughly.

The left side tire had no noticeable play at all, and the right tire wasn't loose in the "parallel-to-ground" axis"--just in the perpendicular one.

I'm still undecided as to what I'm going to do. I'm going to see if things could easily be postponed; i.e., I could get out of my obligation, but I still don't know what's up.

At least I've narrowed down the problem and know exactly what needs to be fixed. Is there anything else that could be causing popping noises, or should new tie rod ends make the car ride like new?
