Take the wheel off and look at the ball joint. It should be nice and tight but movable from side to side. If its really loose in its cavity then its bad.

From Mitsu you can only buy the whole arm- which is what I did because the hole the ball joint sits in got too big for the replacement balljoint I put in previously and it wiggled loose.

You can try taking the control arm to Red Rooster, buying just a ball joint from them, and have them press out the old one and press in a new one.- this is cheapest.
