Steering very sloppy

I have a 2002 ford f350 sd crew cab, i have changed the front and rear brakes, since then the steering has gotten sloppy. I was driving around 30-40mph and making a sweeping right turn and the front and was wobbly at a low speed it is fine and on a left turn it is fine. It feels like it is the drivers side tire that is the problem. I have to change the tie rod that is attached to the pitman arm. I dont want to bring it to a shop. any help will be grateful. Thank you in advance

Well I found out what the problem was I set my gopro up under the front end and took it for a ride and everything looked fine. I was driving to work this morning and was doing 70 when I hear a loud boom look in the mirror and there is my rear hub cap and 8 lug nuts flying across 3 lanes of traffic. Some how all my lugs cam loose as fell off

Sorry that happened but glad you and the other drivers were okay!

Any idea or clue how the lugs came loose? Mischief maybe?
