I would let a front end shop examine the ball joints. The ball joints used in the 54-56 sedans and 55-57 TBirds are almost indestructible. Checker cabs used these ball joints for years. If they got the minimum amount of grease they should last forever.
Besides my 56, I have a 54 sedan which uses the same ball joints. After i got both cars running, I had a front end shop inspect the cars to find out what needed to be replaced. I had to replace most everything on the 54 except the ball joints. The TBird was somewhat better (less had to be replaced) and again, the ball joints were in perfect condition.
As these are the most expensive part, it would be worthwhile to have them inspected before you replace them.
If you decide to replace them without examination, send the old ones to me
