The problem with the Autozone press (and others like it) is that it applies pressure to the top of the joint, rather than at the flange at the base. It is possible to damage the joint by installing it in that manner. Did you check the ball joint for smooth operation after it was pressed in but prior reinstalling the knuckle to the control arm?
