Balljoints can be replaced in the same knuckle. Some knuckles are
constructed so as to allow just one replacement. Yours might be one of
those, I'm not sure. Nobody replaces entire knuckles because a balljoint
needs to be changed unless the knuckle is the "one time" type, and the "one
time" has already passed.
It is not absolutely necessary to replace balljoints in pairs, but it's a
good idea: if one is going, the others won't be far behind.
But I don't think the noise you're hearing is the balljoint. It could be
the spring working against its seat, a bent damper piston, something like
that.
You're better off going to the dealer for this unless a /very/
knowledgeable independent can be found.

From: "trailer"
About a month after I had purchased my new 08 Ridgeline we had a heavy
snowfall. As the snow built up in my lower windshield area the wipers
ceased to work, apparently because the wipers could not reach the bottom of
their cycle. The snow buildup in the lower windshield area prevented the
wipers from going all the way to the bottom to complete the cycle.
I had to stop and clean out the snow. It was snowing pretty heavy and I had
to pull over several times to clean out the snow. Fortunately, I wasn't in
a high traffic area and could safely stop and clean out the accumulated
snow/ice. However, I lost most all visibility out of the windshield as the
wipers ceased to function.
My dealer refuses to acknowledge the problem, basically telling me it's my
imagination. My contention is that it is potentially a dangerous problem.
If one were in a heavy snowfall and the wipers stopped working, and
conditions were such that it was difficult to stop, pull over to clear the
windshield area (like on a mountainous 2 lane road), then an accident is
almost surely to occur.
Has any Ridgeline owner encountered this problem? Basically, I think the
Ridgeline is a great car and I haven't had any problems with the vehicle.
Since I live in Texas, we don't get a lot of snow, especially heavy snow.
But I can't help but wonder what folks would do in cold climates if the
wiper problem happened there.
The car is still under basic and extended warranty.
Thanks
Also, I did send a note to Honda about the problem, but never got a
response.
