Ball Joint Question

[bsteele]

I have a 69 c10. I am in the process of putting drop spindles on it. I replaced the ball joints last night with the ones for a '73. The problem I have is this. One side pressed in just fine. The other side started a little out of wack so I started over, and it finally went in straight. But when I went to put it all together today, I noticed the ball joint has a little wobble. You can move the stud back and forth a little and the base of the ball joint will come back out of the hole just a little. I went back to the press and put some more pressure on it, it went in, but still can be worked back out. It comes back out about a 1/16" or just a little more. Did I screw up? It won't work properly like this will it?
