The pin in the upper balljoint only swings in and out, not forward and back.
The joint has a mark on it that HAS to be on the outboard end of the upper A-frame.
If it is sideways or near sideways, the joint does not permit enough motion in that
direction, and will pop out due to normal motion. Be sure and check this and if it WAS correct,
some tack welds might be in order. If you had it in sideways, correcting it may solve the problem.
