sloppy handling, a shimmy, wobble or even death wobble. Poor alignment (camber).
The way to test is to lift each front tire one at a time, put a pry bar under the tire and have a friend pull up on it while you watch the ball joints for movement/play.

Depends on your skill level and tools. Need to take off the wheels, pull the hubs and shafts, knock out old ball joints, press in new ones, put it all back together.

Radial (side-to-side) movement in the upper ball joint should not exceed 0.060" (1.5mm).
Axial (up and down) movement in the lower ball joint should not exceed 0.050" (1.25mm).
