Ball joint or tie rod end? Sign In

2004 Ford Expedition - 2WD

My driver's side front wheel has play in it which leads vibrations at speed and excessive and uneven tire wear. I can yank on the tie rod and I can here it click on the wheel side. When the wheel is off the ground there is lateral play in the wheel but no horizontal. Is this likely just the tie rod end or should I suspect upper/lower ball joint involvment?

You have to physically look and see which one is moving.
