If you know nothing about front ends, you need to get the vehicle checked out ASAP by either a friend that knows about cars, or a good shop. Excessively worn tie rod ends & centerlinks have been known to come apart when you least expect them to.

What are the signs of bad ball joints?
Some play in the steering, the inside or outside edge of the tire may be worn down more. Jack the wheel off the ground, grab the top and bottom edge and see if it has play in it. This means the ball joints are worn. Grabbing the sides and wiggling means the tie rods or steering linkage is worn. Front wheel drive only have a lower ball joint, the top is attached to the strut. Rear wheel drive have upper and lower ball joints and one or both may need replacing.
How can you tell if tie rods are going bad?
have someone move the steering wheel to the left and right a few inches repeatedly while you watch each joint in motion, they should be firm and snug in the joint, there should not be any play in the joint, if so the joint is bad.

How do you adjust the free play in the steering wheel on a 1998 Chevy Suburban 4X4 5.7 L?
You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.

How do you adjust the excess play in the steering wheel from the steering gear box?
I just looked this up online and found a pretty good website. Although I havnt tried to do it yet on my own corvette I probably will within the hour http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ar_1962_corvette/article/0,,DIY_13704_2278440,00.HTML this is the URL as well as some of the directions from the sitethe next step in this restoration is to adjust the Corvette's steering using the steering-box located underneath the hood. An earlier test-drive revealed that the steering wheel exhibited some play during driving. Since the other steering components have been checked and found to be in good shape, the play may be due to wear in the gears inside the steering box.The Corvette's steering box permits adjustment of these gears, which may well solve the steering problem. Adjustment of the steering requires two people, but the job can be done in just a few minutes.The steering box is unlocked using an open-end wrench and a screwdriver extended through a factory hole in the fiberglass body. To adjust the steering, unlock the nut with about a quarter-turn, then adjust the steering using a slotted screwdriver (figure H).As one person sits in the drivers seat and turns the steering wheel in slight increments, another person can adjust the steering (figure I) until the excess play is removed.Important: Avoid over-tightening the steering-box mechanism, as this may cause binding of the steering.
