Very simply, wiggle, pry etc to see if there is looseness in the joint. However, if you have to ask the question, you may be better advised to take it to a shop and have them check and advise.

I have some noises in the 300D front end but it seems to be right on the firewall so I'm thinking it's the track rods. How would I check for worn ball joints, or other wear in the front end?
