to check tie rods. jack the car up and grab the wheel at 9 and 3 and check for play. while your at it grab the tire at 12 and 6 and check from play that is lower ball joint.

could be, your the only one with the car so your the only one who can check. jack up the car, and shake the wheel, see if it has any play reletive to the knuckle. if it does, have a friend shake the wheel while you look under it and look for what part is moving.
