Default I think I need new ball joints!!!

Well I have this squeaking noise that was coming from the driver side front and has gotten worse and now the squeaking comes from both sides. Ever bump I hit it squeaks. So is it the ball joints? Were can I find them for a good price? Is it possible to put them on myself?

Ball joints typically dont squeak they knock when the front end unloads and compresses. Check your sway bar bushings for starters...

So say when I go to stop and when I step on the brake I hear a loud click coming from the front left. Would that be ball joints?
