Ball joint issues.

Good day. I have a problem that I hope I can get some help with here. I have a 65 Swb C-10. I went to replace my lower ball joints. I pressed the old ones out and when I went to install the right side. It went in as it should. Pressed right up to the control arm and stayed put. When I went over to the left side. The ball joint just slips in with no need to use the press. It doesn't even stay in the control arm. I have tried just about every local parts store and I even ordered a couple from LMC. Those are the ones that the right side fits. It seems that the ball joints and the bore in the lower control arm are about 0.010" difference. I cant seem to find the right one. I can't swap out my control arms cause I made dropped control arms out of mine.

Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated. Trying to get this back together to get little more cruising in.
Thank you,
Phil
