Moog ball joint no good?

Hey guys,
Just found out today that 11 months after replacing all four ball joints w/ moogs my left lower moog ball joint is dangerously loose and worn while the other three are still tight.

Havent done any crazy wheeling, just mild trail duty every now and then, and I greased them all up every couple months. I know the alignment is good and nothing else in my front end is worn. Has anybody else experienced this? or is this just maybe a bad one that slipped past on the assembly line? what gives?!

Don't know. But if anybody makes better ball joints than the stock ones, I've never heard of them. 230k on mine, still good to go. And if anybody wheels their IFS harder than I do, I've never heard of them either.
