Default how do i tell wich balljoint is bad lol

well im pretty sure i have a bad ball joint cause my car freaking wants to pull me off the road and i was wondering if its the drivers side one cause that wheel shakes pretty bad while the other just sits fine when im driving but if i take a long right turn the car goes where i want it to but if i try to make a long left turn it pulls all different ways


this is kinda a dumb question but it could save me money thatns

well when you turn left the weight of your car is shifted to the right side, and when you turn right the weight is on your left side. Do a long left turn, and slowly apply the brakes throughout the turn...if it gets worse the more you brake...that means its your passenger side thats fucked up...turn the other way to see if its the drivers side thats messed up, braking puts the weight to the front of the car, and if you're turning, the majority of the weight will go to the outside tire. that should help you diagnose which one is bad.
