Floaty Feeling .. Ball Joints ?

Finally the rain stopped in N Calif. and I was able to drive my 1993 900TC. 89K miles.
The front end definately feels a bit floaty. Not quite setting play but kind of a wandering feeling, especially in crosswinds.
I'm assuming this is ball joints. My questions are:
How bad is this to do. I guess a stut compressor from auto zone, do I need 3/4 drive sockets for anything? I've done clutches, rotors, shocks, water pump etc. It's a Calif car so no rust!
Are the aftermarket ball joints OK from eEuroparts or do I need genuine Saab like the heater control valve!
I guess I'd do the tie rod ends at the same time and look for A arm cracks.
My big question is am I likely to need to do A arm bushings? .. these sound like a real pain!
Thanks!
