The swaged part that keeps my upper ball joints in place are not even and round as I would have expected, but more like wave shaped - see pictures. It's the same on both upper ball joints. Other than that there is no play, stickiness or any other obvious signs of wear.
So, is the wave shape the result of excessive suspension travel i.e. wear or was it ground that way to allow for proper movement?
Replace or reinstall?
