Found out I get to change another ball joint. Does everybody wear out ball joints every year or two, or is it just me?1990 Protege 4WD

I've been using Moog for the last few years. Maybe it's what I drive on or how I drive on it. It's been a common wear item for me on all my BGs.1990 Protege 4WD

My ball joint is not the problem this time. I put the new one in and it wobbled as much as the old one did. The knuckle is worn away. I will try slotting the pinch-bolt holes and maybe cutting more material away from the slot in the side, then grind the bore smooth and squeeze it down harder. I hope that works.
The frustrating part is that I have a spare set of front knuckles, but when I went to get them I only found the right side, and of course I need the left. Also, my front left caliper is fully extended and leaking. The inner pad is down to the back plate while the outer one has about 1/4" material remaining. So I figure I might as well get my spare front calipers out so I can swap them out, but they're missing too. I found my rear set and some brackets for the front, but that just isn't helpful right now.
So much for order. I put a lot of effort into organizing and tracking my parts so I can find what I need when I need it. Today I am more than a little upset that it was all for nothing.
