The 9-3 test for the tie rod ends is sufficient but I wouldn't trust the 12-6 for a ball joint. Only a really bad one.
For the true test:
With the car jacked on the frame and the wheel hanging freely, place a 18"+ pry between the control arm and where the BJ stud fits into the knuckle and push down and check for any vertical play. Watch your pry bar does not contact the BJ grease boot
