I had a professional auto shop press ball joints in for me before and I measure a gap as big as .038" and they said it was completely fine because they had completely seated, as the ball joint came to a hard spot and didn't want to press any farther in.

Moog started putting the straight knurling on the ball joint to help the ball joints stay in place with our older trucks... maybe one reason yours weren't seated was because the hole in the LCA was a little worn...
Yes, my lower ball joints are seated flush all the way around. I used the ball joint install kit from Advance Auto parts to install them.
