I have a feeling that the ball joints on my car may need changing. What are the symptoms of this? Recently I have noticed that every morning or whenever I drive off if I do a slow tightish turn in the first few yards the car makes a click/knock but after that its ok. I've checked it on full lock in case its the CV joints but all seems ok and no clicks or knocking.

This morning however on the way to work I had a click/knock when moving off from a set of lights. I don't think its the pads moving in the calipers as it doesn't happen all the time.

Any ideas guys?

That click knock sounds like the brake pads. The ball when they've gone you will know... you ears will hurt :-)
