Already replaced steering stabilizer and all shocks. Whats next? Tie Rods.

Steering has too much play in it and I get a vibration when hitting a bump at highway speeds.

The power steering was leaking like a motherfucker up until a few weeks ago when I refilled it with Lucas instead of just more power steering fluid. The stains got smaller and finally stopped.

Recently it had been sitting for a long time, leaking slowly and when I cranked it the power steering reservior was dry. I turned the car off when I heard it screaming and refilled until it was full again, what are the odds that fucked it up worse?

This is the vehicle.

this is my problem:

Seriously though driving this on the highway is like dribbling a hockey puck. You tap it one way then tap it back the other, and do your best to keep it in the middle.

Put it on a jack stand and see if you can the wheel has any free play. You can probably see the loose play if it's a tie rod.
