I have noted an on and off 'grinding' noise emanating from my Front Left wheel of my 92 Trooper.

I have checked and noticed that both upper and lower (on both Left & Right sides) Suspension ball joints are shot. I do not think these are the culprit, but I would like to replace these.

I have jacked up the vehicle & turned the wheel and there is no play in the bearing or any humming. What I have noticed is a slight play (loose) in the Front Left wheel when you try and turn it Left and Right (as if you are steering). When you do this, there is a slight metallic noise, seemingly coming from the steering idler arm (at least I think that's what it's called judging by exploded views labelled diagrams). Right wheel seems solid, despite ball joints that also look shot. There is no play.

Are these major jobs or can I give them a shot myself? I am quite mechanically inclined, but never done these myself.

Any source where I can get them in Europe online? Thanks for any help!
