Picture this ball joint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I didn't take a picture so we will just have to picture this. I have the lower control arms off and while cleaning them up I noticed that one of them was not seated all the way in the control arm. So I took it down to a shop that had a press and had it pressed in the rest of the way. The guy at the shop said it went in easy, which kind scares me, as some have fallen out. Has anyone spot welded a couple of places on the edge of the ball joints for a little insurance?
