When the car is on the lift what should I look for if the ball joints are loose?

I bought a 2001 Honda Accord Coupe from a used car dealer. When I brought it to my mechanic he said I needed new lower balls joints and a left rear stabilizer end link on the right side to pass inspection. The dealer said that there was nothing wrong. If I ask the dealer to put the car on the lift what should I look for?

Check all the ball joints and bushings for looseness/wear and tear
