If you have aftermarket ball joints (which I would never use, Volvo only!), then there could be two different types depending on the year of your 240. The early ones had matching left and right ball joints, and later (-79?) had different ones for left and right, the difference being the connection to the lower A-arm is swept backwards giving the alignment a different castor setting. Many aftermarket ball joints are universal, without the bend in the mounts. These should not be used on the 240's that need the angled mount.

If you mean that the ball joint itself cannot move in it's socket, this is normak for a new ball joint that is tight. It should be difficult to swivel and position to the A-arm and not swing around freely.

The rear cup bushings are the same for right and left. There is an orientation which should be considered, keeping the rubber web or tabs the same orientation as the old ones (rotation).
