I don't know if it's the tie rods or ball joints. When driving the car wobbles really bad. The tires are pointing two different directions. Just got in one morning and this started. Can steer fine just a bad wobble .

If it wobbles with your hands at 9 and 3, its a tie rod end.
If it wobbles with your hands at 12 and 6, its a wheel bearing.

Possibilities: wheel out of balance, bad ball joint, bad tie rod end, wheel bearings, CV-joint, bad tire, bent rim.

Jack up the front wheels and rotate them by hand. Look for any runout that may be cause by a bent wheel. Also feel the tread as you rotate the tire. It should be smooth and concentric. If there are any bulges in the tread the tire is seperated. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and push/pull. You should feel no play. If you do you woman have a bad wheel bearing. In order to check ball joints and tie rods you will need to have the tire off the ground and the jack under the subframe or pinch weld. This will not work if the jack is under the control arm. Grab the tire at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions and push pull. If you feel any play you either hav E worn ball joints or worn tie rod ends. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Possibilities are:

1. Bad wheel bearing
2. Bad tie rod
3. Bad ball joint
4. Bad strut
5. Loose lug nuts

Most cases it's a wheel bearing but since you're getting a loud noise too, it could very well be a bad ball joint or tie rod end.

Your mechanic is correct, They may have mentioned "Tie rod" ends as well as "Ball Joints", If left unrepaired they will leave you stranded when they let go as well as
ruining tires very quickly. Usually a tie rod end or ball joint will break as you make a
slow turn because of the extra force exerted on them as you make the turn into
a drive. Hope this is useful information.

could be tie rod or ball joint or bushing. I would put it on a rack and pull at every joint. You can even check at home by jacking up the wheel and pulling it in each direction. There should not be any play. In/out play at side of wheel is due to tie rods or bushings. In/out play at bottom is due to ball joint.

The new tires could be out of balance,or even though they are new could have a bad belt in one of them,If it was doing this,the problem,if it was there before the tires were installed,have the front end checked.And you may need a front end alignment.If the tie rod,and ball joint were bad on that side,then chances are the other side may have bad front end parts also.You know it needs alignment after replacing tie rod ends don`t you?Eye balling the tie rod end does not get it back in line,and it may have needed the alignment anyway,Have a 4 wheel alignment done to make sure that is out og the equation while diagnosing the problem.

Jack front end. Use both hands to check driver and passenger side tires for slight wobble. If wobbles, you have a bad ball joint. Otherwise inspect tie-rod end for wear.

bad ball joints,tie rod ends also.

Have the tires been removed from the rim and rim spun on balencer to check how straight the bead surface is ? Strut Leaking fluid ? Ball joint or Tie rod bad ? wheel bearing wobble ?
