Default moog ball joints

I installed new moog ball joints (upper and lower) in May 2010. That was less than 10 thousand miles ago. Upper joint on passenger side already has an eighth of play in it. Anyone else had this problem. Guy at the parts store ordered another one for me but they are a pain in the neck to install. Seems like its hard to find good parts these days.

No issues with my uppers and lowers did you get the adjustable uppers or standard? Ive only run the standards and had no issues plus mine gets greased at every oil change since 99% of the front is new now after 125k

Had NO problems with them. Are you sure you turned them correctly?

Just make sure you line them up correctly before you press them in! To clarify I mean the blue line on the joint pointing inboard.
