YOU CAN GET A FEW YEARS OUT OF A SET OF BALL JOINTS, BUT THEY WILL NEED TO BE GREASED REGULARLY. USUALLY YOU WOULD HAVE THEM GREASED AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU HAVE YOU CAR SERVICED(OIL CHANGE ECT). A NEW SET OF BALL JOINTS MUST BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY USING THE PROPER TOOLS OR BY A PROFESSIONAL. SOME MANUFACTURERS OF AFTER MARKET PARTS HAVE POOR QUALITY PARTS AND THEY DO NOT LAST AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS PARTS DO. MY FATHRE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH HIS CHEV SUBURBAN. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM BALL JOINTS A SECOND TIME WHEN WE HAD ONLY A REPLACED THEM A YEAR BEFORE. LUCKLIY FOR US THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AFTER MARKET PARTS HAD A WARRNTY ON THE BALLJOINTS AND WE HAD THE PARTS REPLACED WITH A NEW SET FREE. YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK WITH THE PART SUPPLIER YOU PURCHASED YOUR PARTS FROM TO SEE IF ANY WARRANTIES APPLY.

I had this problem on my 2000. I lubed all the fittings, especially upper and lower ball joints and the noise went away. Chevy wants you to lube every oil change. If you still hear the noise you'll have to replace. Check the Anti-Sway Bar bushings and where they attach to the A-Arm.
