Brian, I think Jim is on target here, you must have the wrong ball joint or don't have the notch lined up. I've installed several ball joints on 911's, including the '72 I had and never had a problem with the interference fit. The 911 went through 3 evolutions of the ball joint:
Ball Joint, 911/912 (1965-68), each
A-341-047-00 $149.50
Ball Joint, 911/912 (1969-71), each
A-341-049-00 $49.40
Ball Joint, 911 (1972-89), each [Photo]
C-341-049-01
