Jen -

There is a quick check for you that can help diagnose. Jack up a front wheel just off the ground. Grip at 9:00 and 3:00 and attempt to move the wheel as if steering. You can feel any slack easily. If there is some, look around the whlle while moving and you might see the tie rod ends, or the ball joints, or the tie rod inner joints giving the slack.

Then grip the wheel at 12:00 and 6:00 Attempt to move the top in and out. Check for slack. A lot of slack here means a front wheel bearing problem.

The other posts are all good ones. Especially the parts list. It's a DIY job although a big one.

Good Luck,

Bob
