i am 93% sure that my problem is the driver side ball joint, i am just making sure i am right

just this week i started hearing a popping noise when i would hit bumps in the road. then just yesterday it started squealing whenever i turned the wheel.

if my problem is the ball joint which ones should i pick up? the steeda one? or is there a better/cheaper option because i am pretty low on funds lately.

No Steeda. Just get some replacements from an AP store. MOOG. No China cheap crap. Moog is awesome.

ya but that was for the Moog ones. steedas are like 130 bucks for a pair and i saw moog's elsewhere for like 65. i just dont want them to prematurely wear out due to the modified suspension geometry.
