What will make the front wheels wobble when you apply the brakes?
Worn tie rod ends. Jack up the front of your vehicle and see if your front tires have some play horizontally.

Do you see wheel bearing when changing tie rod ends?
It kind of depends on what vehicle you're talking about. On no vehicle (that I know of) will you be able to see the actual bearing unless you take apart the wheel hub, but on some vehicles you will be able to see the wheel bearing assembly whether you're changing tie rod ends or otherwise.

Check your car handbook about the brake lights which should light up on the dashboard if the brake pads are worn. If the brakes are noisy and screeching it may suggest worn out pads. You will have to jack up the car and take the wheels off to inspect the brake pads to see if they are worn out.
