Re: ball joints
Many years ago (when I was young and less informed) I had a beater car that would pull to one side and had lots of front end play. I could feel the steering wheel "wobble" when it hit bumps. I should have known better than to keep driving it like this.
Finally one day when I hit a bump it started to wobble more than usual. Seconds later the drivers front wheel went into a full left turn. The tie rod had broke. I was going 50-55 and crossed the center line a little before I was able to steer it off to the right shoulder. After composing myself I vowed never to let that happen again. If your car pulls to one side or exhibits any play or wobble get it fixed. It's way better than crashing.
