What are the symptoms of bad ball joints?

With the joint disconnected from the stub-axle, the ball-pin should be tight in the LCA.

A Loose ball-joint, is a Bad ball-joint...

They are cheap enough, but a pain to change without the right tools, but as you're going that deep into the re-build, it would be silly not to replace them too....
