My F-250 eats a set of ball joints about once a year. When mine are bad I get a clunk in the front end and when I am in a parking lot and have to wheel at full lock in either direction, you can feel the front tire (best way I can describe it) folding in. This is in a 2wd truck though. Jack up the front end and get a large pry bar. See if you can get any play in the wheel by prying on it. A bad ball joint will move.

They arnt hard to replace but are a PITA because of everything that needs to come off.
