How do you check loose or worn ball joints on Chevy 2001 s-10 truck?

Using a floor jack, lift a front wheel off the ground a couple inches by placing the jack under the lower control arm as close to the wheel as possible without touching it. This will take the weight off of the ball joints. Using a long pry bar place the bar under the wheel and try to lift the wheel. If the joints are worn you will notice movement or play as you lift the wheel up and down. Have someone look at the joints while you do this to determine if the play is coming from an upper or lower or both ball joints or the upper control arm bushings. Be sure the wheel bearings are properly adjusted (2 wheel drive) before you do this procedure.
