Have you in fact confirmed the bj's are a problem?

when it was jacked up the wheel wiggled back and forth, i am under the impression that means bad ball joints. my car also has some steering slack. it may be the tierods responsible but i have no idea how to check that.

The play you are feeling could just be wheel bearing play. Don't start throwing parts and money at the car for no reasons. Have it checked properly and go from there.

Your probably right... just hate to spend money just to have someone look at it.

Might end up savin' ya money in the long run.

i can't argue with your wisdom, i will have to get it checked professionally

you are going to have to figure it out somehow...we can only do so much diagnosis over the web...might be beneificial to pay reputable shop to have alook at...then you know exactly what you are dealing with and can budget accordingly.

Personally i wouldn't go with a salvage yard for tie rods ends, ball joints, brake components etc...these items should be bought new.
