Jack it up and support it on jack stands, then move the wheel/tire and look for where the motion is. If you have motion when you push in/out on the top/bottom (12 and 6) of the tire but not in other directions it's likely ball joints. If it moves only when you try to move it at the front/back (3 and 9) on the tire it is more likely tie rod related.
If you can move it in every direction it is most likely a wheel bearing. But those are only a rough guide. If it has much motion the failed part(s) should be readily apparent. Then it is somewhat simple to replace them.
