A worn CV joint usually makes a click-click-click sound, especially when turning. A worn ball joint is more likely to clunk in a turn. Also, in the case of a worn ball joint, if you jack up the suspect wheel and grasp the tire at the top and the bottom, you should be able to move it back and forth with a bit of a clunky feel.

What would happen if the joint between your arm and shoulder was not a ball and socket joint?

If the joint between your arm and shoulder was not a ball and socket joint, you could not be able to move your arm. Ball and socket joints allow you to move in most directions. Because of this, you can move your arm up, down, side to side, front and back, and around in a circle. The ball and socket joint is one of the four major kinds of movable joints. (The four major joints are ball and socket joints, gliding joints, hinge joints, and pivotal joints in case you didn't know.)

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.
