You need to jack up the car and try to wiggle the tire side to side. If there is any play, look where the boot and inner tie rod is. If there is any wiggle/play there, the joint is bad and will need to be replaced.

if the wheel wiggles and the tie rod doesnt = outter/tie rod end

if the wheel and tie rod wiggles = inner tie rod

if both wiggle = bang head to wall
