Hello,

I have a 1990 Geo Prizm. Lately, I have noticed 2 issues:

(1) At low speeds and uneven road surface the car makes a squeaking
noise while moving. When I brake the noise stops. It is a continuous
squeaking noise.

(2) When I turn my steering completely on one side and bring it back, I
hear a click noise, just one click.

Any ideas??

Ball joints would be a good place to start.

Hello,

How does one know whether to replace a ball joint or just to tighten
it? i.e when to repair and when to replace?

A mechanic can tell you, but 98% of the time they are worn out and not
loose.

When they wear you replace them.  There is no adjustment to a ball joint.
