It is, when you pull the old one, line up the new one as close as you can, install, get an alignment. If the ball joints spin before you reach the proper torque, 40 Nm, place a 6mm spacer, I use an open end wrench, torque down, loosen slightly, remove spacer, then torque down again. This will "seat" the ball joint.
