Lift the tire off teh ground, grab it at 12:00 and 6:00 and pull/push. you should see the loose ball joint moving. If it's done. In fact as you jack the car up, if the tire droops in a bit as the tire comes off the ground... not a good sign

NAPA makes a High end Ball joint . I have seen a cross section of theirs and TRW and Moog. very much more beefy on the inside of the NAPA. but $$$$
