Bad Ball Joints? How to tell?

I bought some nice Goodyear Assurance tires today and wanted them to do a wheel alignment. They said that both lower ball joints were bad so they need replaced before the alignment. How can I tell if they are bad? I don't drive it hard and I've never noticed any sort of problem.

If I need them, they're about $57 from subaruparts.com. Not to bad considering the Goodyear store wants $75 each and another $75 to install each for a nice total of about $300 plus the alignment.

This looks like a do it yourself job. Is it?
