Balljoint diagnosis...

Hi All,
Can anyone inform me as to a quick and accurate way to diagnose balljoint wear?
The car has had two recent wheel alignments,(each shop conflicting the other as to what is best alignment, local SAAB dealer farms the W/A to local tyre depot ) but still feels vague at centre of steering motion.
What makes me suspect a problem is the occasional slight wander on the road for no apparent reason. I can't feel any joint or bearing play with the suspension unloaded and the steering rack feels tight but I would hope
there is a definate of confirming the condition of the parts.
I recently changed the shocks (SACHS) and renewed the front spring bump stops (rubbers split apart) and at that time, I was leaning heavily on the wishbones as well to check the bushes and they were OK too.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Clive
