91 Subaru Loyale Ball Joints Sign In

How do I effectively inspect & replace the ball joints on the following:
1991 Subaru Loyale
4 Cyl - 4 door base FWD
90,000 miles


It is knocking when on rough pavement and chatters at speeds of 50+ mph when on a left hand turn (bearing left).
Thanks

Ken

In that I'm not certain of front end layout it is one of two ways so I'd do both ways anyway. Hoist by body just enough to pry up on wheel/tire and jockey the wheel/tire anyway for other looseness, or support lower control arm close to joint such that weight of vehicle isn't pressing on joint and same tests. Pretty much no motion should be noted on a joint anywhere. Do with wheels aimed straight ahead,
