Any one replace their lower ball joints?

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?

Did you happen to check the old one to see if there was excessive play or if it was moving around much easier than it should? And can you measure the OD of the part that gets installed into the suspension? That way we can see if the Z32 300zx ones will fit also. They certainly look similar. Great work!
