On the p/s upper ball joint was coming out enough that I could see the splines so I replaced both the upper and lower and while I was replacing them the upper slides in and out freely no need to press it in any ideas?

Could have wallowed the hole out on the knuckle.

Did the old one slide out easy. If not the auto parts store could have given you the wrong one.
