I think my 'balls' might be ready to drop?

Ay up Folks,
I'm just stripping down the front suspension on a Syncro (project) and I need to replace worn/seized bushes amongst other things. However, I noticed that the upper and lower ball end joints feel different. The upper feels very stiff and the lower one moves freely, however I can't feel any 'play' in them and wouldn't expect to unless they were really fubar. I'm no ball expert but my gut feeling is that one of these is telling me it might be worth replacing while the front end is all stripped down?
Any ball experts out there?
cheerz
