Of these items, ball joint replacement is the most labor intensive.
While the car is on Jackstands, and with the engine off, turn the Steering wheel fully from left to right and right to left and note any unusual noises.
Finally give the Right and Left side a nice firm bounce and not the condition of the front Shock Absorbers.
