wheel bearing or ball joint, maybe???

I have a 2002 Chevy S-10, and i am having some issues with my front wheels.

can anyone tell my a symptom that a ball joint could be going???

also, if replacing a wheel bearing, is it wise to replace both sides rather than the one that is making noise?  also, is it wise to replace the whole hub assembly or only the bearings?

is there a manufacturer that anyone can reccommend over another?  i dont wanna be changing things out in 4 months due to poor quality!!!

thank you for your help in advance!!!

Take it to a good shop and have them look at the ball joints with you.  If it is a good shop they will show you how to check them.  You should change both bearings and races if you don't put new rotors on too.
