I am almost sure it is tie rod ends. DSM's chew them up pretty fast. Ball joints are also possible. Jack the car up and jiggle the wheel top to bottom, if it moves it is the ball joints. Now do the same side to side, if it has play, it is tie rod ends. If it does both, then it may also be a wheel bearing.
