Have a look at this page: http://www.daihatsu-drivers.co.uk/node/3712#comment-6422 It's about replacing a bearing, but the info you need should be there. As for the ball joint, I am asuming you mean one of the joints the hub asembly fits too on the end of the wish bones? This could couse a similare woble to a slack bearing. But would be easy to tell the diffrence from underneath.
