tire question?

i got a 93 f150 4.9l 5spd 4x4 with 31x10.5x15 bfg AT's and the tires are starting to do this /-\ does that mean a tie rod is going bad? when i got the tires 1 year ago i had an alignment done and my machanic said i needed something done where he has to pop the upper ball joint off and replace a shim or something that would cost $600 per side and i think i just needed the driverrs side done now i will probably have to do both. i have read you can do this yourself is it hard?

Your front springs are sagged, replace them.
