How the hell can you tell when they are just about to s**t them selves?
The local wreakers said to me they need replacing?

jack up the car. and put a long bar undet the wheel .and move it up and down and see if there is any movement. you can also tell if the front has a slight clunk in it . hope this helps

I see lower/upper pairs on eBay think maybe around $40 or so a pair. I think they're a pain in the a*** to change though
 Also I think if the rubber boots are cracked/ripped then replace them.

mine were that stuffed that under acceleration they clicked and cornering was scary.
they are a pain in the a*** to get out though. i found this out the first time. the second time i bought reco'd stub axles from fulcrum for $145 the pair.

Ok they were the lower ball joints.
All up $200 The stub axle has to be disassembled,disc,abs sensor,caliper,etc,etc The old ones get smashed out. New ones get pressed in. Assemble the stub axle & everything that come off it. Wheel alignment and fixed 
About 1 1/2-2hours

my drivers side lower one is stuffed i think..
the rubber boot thats on it is ripped i think.. could explain the creaking/graoning noise when i make slow turns.

Dont learn the hard way it will cost more! Get the car to a front end specialist as the MRS EF was like that & the stub axel was beyond repair.

I dont know why you needed a wheel alignment though.Because a worn ball joint wont disrupt the setting on your camber/caster/toe adjust ment.But if you specified a wheel alignment,fair enough then.
When we replace ball joints at work on any numerous vehicles you dont touch the adjustment on the tie rods or the shims on the upper arms.
