The best solution is the most cost effective one.
Not that I haven't shotgunned solutions in the past (bulk replace) but
when you have the time and inclination to go for what has
actually failed, why not?

I think because mine is not exposed to moisture AND
pot holes......... the ball joints are still tight/stiff in the sockets.
I was a bit surprised at the rubber bushing though as soft as they
were.

Can't wait for new shoes on the car. New rubber is the best!!!!
