Ball joint size issue.

Ball joint size issue.
Hey ya’ll, I need some help with a ball joint problem I am having. I am rebuilding the front suspension on my 2004 ranger. It is a 4x4 with T bars and is pretty much stock. It was making some pretty bad noises and when I looked, there was a lot of bad bushings so I decided to do it all. Here is my issue. The new ball joints are too small. I ordered a kit from rock auto and tried a different set from autozone. Both with the same problem; They go right in the hole with zero friction. I measured and here is what I got:
hole is 44.57mm
old ball joint is 46.31mm
new ball joint is 44.62mm
do I need new lower control arms or is there a way to order and “over size” ball joint. Thanks in advance
