Might be time to try a trial assembly off of the car, with just the front
arm & no spacer.  Perhaps that will show you where the problem is.  Kind of
sounds like perhaps your new ball joint is not properly made.

Using a press is going to be tricky, as the sides of the ball joint housing
are not at right angles to the shaft.  You could possibly use a (stronger)
standard nut in place of the thin castellated one, but finding one at your
local hardware store might be difficult.  ISTR those are something like 9/16
NF threads.
