Yes, dry ball joints can squeak a lot. When the lubrication on the ball joints wears off or becomes insufficient, the metal-on-metal contact can cause squeaking sounds. It is important to address this issue promptly as it can affect the handling and safety of the vehicle.

How do you change the ball joints in a ZX2 and how do you know if it is the upper or lower joint?

it's a whole lot cheaper to replace the whole wheel bearing set. The wheel bearings have nothing to do with the ball joints. The ZX2 uses McPherson struts and only have a ball joint on the lower end of it. The upper end is attached to the shock tower with a large bushing. The ball joint stud attaches to the bottom of the spindle assembly and the ball joint assembly is attached to the lower control arm with two bolts.
