A question about ball joints

[amarillo06]

Hello all

My 2006 4X4 truck seems to have a ball joint loosening.

My question, well one of several.

I had them replaced back 50k ago. The lowers that is. And its been just over a year since I had them done. Is that not premature of them to wear out like that?

If that sounds premature, what brand would you all recommend when i have them changed out again? Or better when I change them out myself. (kinda debating on doing the job myself if it doesnt take air tools and I have the right size sockets and wrenches).

And also can I get away with doing the 2 lowers? then changing the uppers at a later point? I had the uppers redone back 4 months ago. (I wanna change them all to match the brand of course).

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind. its all good and tight. the squeaking was from the control arm bushing. So i put oil on them. seemed to help.
