The first signs indicating that one or both ball joints are damaged will come to you while driving: you will feel vibrations in the steering wheel; a sort of play in the steering can be noted, worn tires with the observation of abnormal and irregular wear.
In our case the vibration appears around 70 kmh

To assess as quickly as possible if you have a kneecap problem:
Wheel lift off the ground, one hand left and right and shake
to assess a wheel bearing problem:
Wheel lift off the ground, one hand above and below and shake
