Wrap about a dozen wraps of electrical tape around the top and bottom of the links and if I'm right that will silent the tap tap tapitty tap.

It's a one hour job to replace both sides. Helps to have a buddy with a 4' 2x2 to push things into alignment to get the bolt in when installing the new ones.

Bad ball joint will give you horrible wheel shake braking from speed (70 to 65 mph for example) a tight but greaseless ball joint (any of them) will cause a squeak-squeak squeaken : usually just pushing down on the bumper will make it squeak.
