I had the same sound also. It was a deep creaking sould at low speeds. I made a certain diagnosis by purchasing an animal syringe from a farm supply store and "mainlined" some grease direcly into the ball joint boot. Kind of like a sweedish Keith Richards!
Anyway, If you want to be certain it is the ball joint before replacing parts, this would determine if the ball joint is at fault. Just make a small hole and the grease that you insert should seal the hole from outside elements. If you have 100k or more, the ball joints could very likely be your problem. Good luck.
