All three of the super duties I have had made that noise. All three times its been the sway bar bushings. Not the end links, but the bushings where the sway bar attaches to the axles. Its a very cheap easy fix and i would definetly start there. In my experience ball joints have to be VERY shot and borderline dangerous to even drive to make that kind of noise. Oh, the other thing is you can't really tell if they are shot or not. There usually isn't any play in the sway bar, and they will look fine, but all three times I've replaced that first and no more noise. Hope that helps
