OVERSIZED BALL JOINTS

I think I need new ball joints both tires seem a little lose and tire wear is really bad especially on the inside also stuts are original 83000 miles they will be replaced to. since i need new tires i feel this is really necessary to fix first. My question is about ball joints, i have seen oversized ball joints for use with worn spindles, so how can you determine if the spindles are worn enough to need the oversized balljoints.
thanx

You shouldn't need oversized balljoints. Theres's no wear where the balljoint and spindle fit together. It's the internal part of the balljoint that wears out.

Just get factory replacments, preferably by Federal Mogul, and you'll be fine.
