Frond end question

I have a slight wobble in the front end at about 70 mph. I have read that the tie rod ends might be the culprit. I just had the tires rotated and re-balanced, so I know that's not the problem. My question is this: If the problem is the tie rod ends, should that be replaced immediately? I am going on a road trip to Florida from Houston in a couple of weeks and I want to know if i should fix it before I go.

If you take it to the dealer and they concur the tie rod ends are the culprit, I would go ahead and get things patched up before the trip. I think it's safer that way--taking care of the TLC on these trucks before any damage does occur. Long trips could do more damage than simple daily driving.
