i am pretty sure that they are the same for all 94-01 tegs, don't quote me tho, a part store could tell you for sure tho. the only ones i have found available are adjustable. otherwise you can get the whole upper control arm with ball joint..... its much easier that way.

to check it, lift the front end off the ground, grab the wheel at 12 and 6 (top and bottom) and push in and out, if it moves and you can see it moving, then it needs to be replaced

i guess its possible, it would have to be really worn out if you can hear it tho... that noise could be caused by worn out stuts too.

If it has a lot alot of play Replace them quick because U don't want the ball joint popping out of the steering knuckle.. if the ball joint pops all i can say it a OUCCCCCHHH
