Regarding your query about checking the lower ball joint. I check them 2 ways. With the car jacked up (and proper jack stands placed at the jack points) and the strut hanging I place a lever between the lower control arm and the bottom of the strut and test for play between the two. In addition I also use oversize water pump pliers to squeeze the bottom of the ball joint up against the "foot" of the strut. There should be no play with either method--and both methods should be employed. -- Dave
