Im gonna say its a ball joint. If you take it in for an alignment they will should check all of that before the adjust anything. Or you can do it yourself if you jack the front end up and shake the tires back and forth by hand and look for excessive movement.

thanks, im gonna check that out and if there is alot of movement, is it hard to change the ball joint???
Yeah ball joints aren't fun. They aren't really too difficult though... Depending of your mechanical inclination and if you have ever done one it may be a little more than you want to deal with. The Hayes Manual from Autozone will walk you through it if you want an idea.
I'm sure there is a write up on here somewhere of how to do it. BTW - it's not cheap to pay someone to do it either.
