if you have an alignment shop (small owner, not big name), then take it there. they will test drive it first then have a quick visual inspection to give you an idea what it will need.
then just tell him you will have to decline for now to get more funds.
then just replace what he told you yourself.

or you can have someone wiggle the steering wheel while you're under the front looking at the tie rod ends and all bushings for any play. this is where it gets difficult, as there is a lot to look at. also look for any bent parts.

then you can lift each wheel a couple of inches and grab the wheel at 3 and 9 to see if there is any bearing play.
then use a bar and stick it under the wheel and lift up hard to feel for any ball joint play.
