Any loose or vibration in the direction could means death to you & others on the road , imagine the ball joint breaks or tie rod at 75 mph or even at 50 mph no more control on the steering wheel & the car will crash & may hit other cars at the same time

Little scenario : You are at going 65 mph on two way line then the driver side ball joint breaks & car pull in the other line & makes you car go face to face with another car or big truck coming at you at 60+ mph... Goodbye! nice knowing you
Very! poor frontal collision rated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F0B5wmtklA
(Grand am & Alero share same body)

So either slow down until you fix it or go in the garage & make it fix for you make them check everything

If you want to do a quick test jack up one wheel at the time & move it side ways form left to right that is for tie rod & moving the wheel up & down will be for ball joints but still i recommend you go in the garage & have them check for any loose parts on the direction , better be safe then sorry
