ball joints are in the lower control arms cant be removed so you need whole arm

The pulsing could be a warped rotor, thats what has always been the culprit for for.

Although the low speed squeaks over bumps is probably the control arms. I have to replace my lowers as well because of that squeak, previous owner replaced the uppers but not lowers.
