Ball Joints?

2004 F250 4x4 6.0, popping noise in front end when turn more then about halfway. Figure this is likely ball joints. I know the different ways to test front end parts for wear but due to health reasons I can no longer do this. Local mechanic shop has quoted $270 labor and I supply parts. Seems a fair price to me. So question is do I only replace the ball joints or anything else? Also where to get the parts and what all parts are needed. Thanks in advance for any help.
