The back left wheel on my 2003 mitsubishi diamante has a lot of give to it when i make turns. Enough that i must correct my steering after sharper turns to compensate. Is this a tie rod or a wheel bearing?

For the rear, it should be either wheel bearings or suspension bushes/linkages. You need to visually inspect for damages to parts.

Cost varies according to location and the parts that requires replacement so it is not possible to provide any costing.

The best way is to get local quotes after getting them to have the problem inspected.
