If there is more than 1/16" of play in it.
Or if your truck has over 100k on the originals odds are good they are ready.

yep pretty easy to do. If/when you replace use MOOG. lifetime warr and they are about the best aftermarket you can get.
I think most parts stores carry the moog. they run about $45 each. if you do not mind ordering online goto www.rockauto.com they run about $25 each plus shipping.

If you can see any movement between the ball and the socket of the ball joint, it is bad and should be replaced. You jack the truck at the front wheel "A" frame then put a breaker bar under the front tire and lift up. The ball should not move in the socket if the ball joint is good. (have a buddy lift while you watch the ball joint for movement). Be careful so as to not move the truck off the jack.
