Default Having problems

My 98 Blazer is super sloppy in the front end almost impossible to drive when it's windy. It also makes a strange clunk on the passenger side when I turn. I jacked it up and the passenger wheel has a lot of play going back and forth. I've heard ball joints would have play top and bottom. I'm lost. I'm no mechanic but love to work on my own stuff so any input would be appreciated.

could be tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm.....have someone sit inside with engine off and key unlocked and turn the wheel back and forth while you are underneath, should be able to see where the play is
