Moog upper Ball Joints

Hi there,

I recently had these ball joints installed on my 2003 Ram and I am having an issue with the R/h wheel on sharp R/h hand turns. Because of the way they set up the Camber to be aligned, in a tight r/h turn the axle is contacting the differential. I have been back to the alignment shop at couple times, they insist that it is because of the way this ball joint was manufactured.
The spoke(if thats what you want to call it) rotates within the ball joint and the camber changes alot when you are in turns. The driveshaft on both side can move in and out over and inch.
Just wondering if there are any people out there at a familiar with alignment stuff. Moog has offered to cover the cost to get the unit replaces including labour which is awesome.
Just wondering which upper ball joints I should go with, was once told to just go with stock all though they don't last very long?

Thanks
