Does the Ball Joint pivot inside of the

lower control arm? My ball joint broke off last night while slowly turning onto a residential streeet soooo...I changed out my LCA today. Everything went fairly smoothly(no spring compressor) Here's the problem: I am unable to reseat the ball joint inside the knuckle. It seems as though the small curvature in the stem has gotten twisted. Is it possible to twist(pivot) the ball joint to realign it?
