Front Wheel Movement!

Hi,just had my rear tyres changed.Fronts are being done next month. On the way back from the garage the front wheels seemed to wander a bit. Checked them when i got home and there is movement from the front wheels. I can move them backwards and forwards by hand. This is probably why the front tyres are worn on the edges and when i brake hard it knocks a bit. Is this the bottom track control arms? Do i need the whole thing or can i just change the bushes? Idealy i would like to do next weekend as im off work on saturday. Also,where is the cheapest place to get them? Ive looked on ebay and they range in price quite a bit. Thanks,jamie.
