I say lift your car and inspect them all and see what needs to be changed, the joints should be pretty much solid with no play. Go through yours and check each one, one by one while someone moves the rim up and down left and right and see if they are loose. Its the ball joints that are the ones that are gonna do this:

Tie rods are gonna kill your steering, but at least you can still safely stop your car and save your car!

awesome! then you're ahead of the game... but for the price of the tie rods, might as well change the hole thing as to not have to pay for alignment twice in the future.. I mean you're already down there right? :P After I changed the inner one, thats when I saw that the outer was on the verge. Since you're there already ya know...

just based off this so if the cover on the joint, (outer tie-rods) is gone/busted then its safe to assume the joint is bad?
im not getting much play at all but my LS is "clicking" at certain points during the steering, and looked it over and saw tie rod end on the passenger side was leaking.

How did I know it was loose lug nuts THIS time? Well still trying to figure out what was causing the new wiggle, this morning I was going to rotate the rims just in case the tire may have gotten worn from the bad tie rod just enough to throw the tire out of balance (from sectioned wear from the wiggle) when I jacked the car up I noticed the rim was wiggling again...

(still gonna do what can in a over haul with all the joints as stated above)
BTW, check link in my signature. My knowledge on mechanics is far from noob
