steering help!

How about this: jack up the front end, grab the damn tire, imagine a clock; If it wobbles 3 and 9, you need new tie rods or deeper, if it wobbles 12 to 6 you need to figure out the wheel bearings. Get up under there with a flashlight, have someone turn the wheel, look at the linkages under there, you'll find the play.

My vote if you need to rebuild your front end. Doooo ittt.

PS: Don't bother taking it to an alignment shop, its super easy to do it in your garage, do a search on the subject.

that's what I was doing when I took these pictures. there was a bit of play on the ball joints but nothing on the tie rods. I had it aligned when I bought the tires and while he did that I had him replace the wheel bearings . It drove so smooth after that and the tires looked like they were going to last. then out of no where I started to see the outsides of the tires wearing down. also the driver side tire looks like its tucked under the fender a few inches more than the wheel on the right. could be a misshapen fender causing it to look like that but I'm not sure. it really needs a lot of front end work I just had know idea where to start. guess I'm replacing everything.

PS sometimes when I'm braking, the front end bounces almost as if I'm hitting some speed bumps with just the front end. you could even say it felt like I was bouncing on some hydraulics haha
