hmm that's unusual, the way to test the ball joint's is:
lifting the car and shaking the wheel, if the top move's in and outward the upper joint is bad, if the lower one move's the lower joint is bad.

let a friend or someone turn the wheel and you listen to the sound.
grab the upper ball joint and see if you can feel the pop.
i am leaning towards the tie rods.
