Default My ball joint bad?

When i back up i hear/feel a click/pop from the driver side of the car. Is this my lower ball joint? On another note when i turn my wheel right theres a squeeking noise. There not related, the sqeeking has been going on for awhile. Any suggestions on what this could be? Thanks in advance.

the poping only happens in reverse, not around corners like a bad axel usually does. As for the squeeking don't sound like my bed lol, its a deeper not so high pitched squeek if that makes sense lol. It also happens when im moving or sitting still if that makes a differerence.

Ball joint's are $21.xx at AutoZone, and very easy to install. Just put a new one in, and the worst thing that happens if it isn't the problem is you're out $21.xx and an hour of your time.
