Default Are my ball joints going to fail on me?

I just got this car. It’s a 2011. It pulls to the left and right. I got my tires balanced but I’m just having a bad feeling about this. Is it my ball joints ? Control arms? Help !

Either you have very worn suspension bushings or you need an alignment.

If youre concerned about your ball joints, lift the car up. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 o clock, and rocking back and forth. If you have movement at 12 and 6 o clock, your ball joints are worn, failing, or broke.

Wheel bearing and/or tie rods, are movement with your hands at 9 and 3 o clock
