.005 doesn't sound like much but it's enough that the ball joint moves considerably in the hole not even close to any type of friction fit. Falls right out. According to the specs to the hyper-linked product , that green loctite retaining compound is for all threaded engagements less than or equal to 1/2 inch in diameter. But the Loctite 638 Retaining Compound is good for up to .010 clearance on cylindrical parts with a shear strength of 4200 lbs. This may be a viable option and I will research more. Sorry not trying to hi jack the original post.
