With the front end lifted and supported on jack stands, try moving the wheels in a steering motion. You should not be able to move them at all with the steering locked if your tie-rod ends are in good order. Some play is expected, but anything more than 1/16th of an inch is bad. Also try prying on the ball joint on the ends of the tie-rods up. If they move at all, they are bad.
