Default 1998 Ford F-150 Front End Problem

Ok, well this started a few months ago, the tires would wear out on the inside, i took to shop and they said the ball joints had play in them, and said that its ok to drive, it will just keep wearing out the tires...so later on the front end started making a whirring sound while going down the road and a sqeaking sound, then tonight when i went down road the the truck would like bounce up and down and make a popping/weird grinding sound when im just going down road....and the truck would pull real bad, not always, but sometimes it would do it, like for instance, like if your behind a semi, and the wind is hitting you on interstate... Im worried to drive it, i dont want the front end to like just fall off while i ride down the road...So it would be greatly appreciated if someone could like diagnose this for me without looking at....or just tell me some things that could be possibly wrong... its a 1998 Ford f-150 with 211k on it...thanks

Uh Replace ALL worn componets. IE loose ball joints, tie rods, dry rotted bushings. Then have the front end aligned.
