have someone move the steering wheel to the left and right a few inches repeatedly while you watch each joint in motion, they should be firm and snug in the joint, there should not be any play in the joint, if so the joint is bad.

When should ball joints be relaced on a 1998 crv?
Ball joints only really need to replaced when they are going bad. Usually you can tell if you put one hand on the 12 oclock position and the other on the 6 oclock position and try to wiggle the the tire. If it wiggles this way then ball joints are going bad. (Jack the vehicle up first). If you put one hand on the 3 oclock and the other in the 9 oclock position and wiggle it and it moves then the tie rods are going bad. If the whole tire moves in and out then the bearings are usually going bad. Hope this helps.
