What are the symptoms/noises a faulty ball joint would cause?
Would this sound be described as a clunking or "pitter patter" from the bottom of the car? Uneven pavement causes the vibration and noise?
After replacing my front shocks, the rumbling on the drivers side is still present on rough streets. I had a leaking driver's side shock so I thought that was causing the noise. I guess it is the compression rod OR ball joint???

It is a clunk when turning/bumps/other things. It sounds like it comes from either the middle/front/left or right... its hard to track down. I thought it was my struts but then when having them replaced we found a gel coming out of the ball joint... jacked the joint with nothing but the strut attached to the front suspension and it clicked... Thats how it was found on my car. They can be found on ebay for 150... Its called a front steering knuckle/ spindle assembly(make sure its not just the spindle)

Sounding like a creaky floor board
When I turn into my driveway I hear a creaking noise like a loose floor board in an old house. Is that the sort of sound that is related to a ball joint or compression rod or both? Not really a mechanic but I have the service manual and willing to try pretty much whatever as long as the job doesnt require any repair shop level machinery or any thing I cant borrow from autozone. Any ideas?
