Compression Rod Ball Joint keeps going bad?

Okay, so long story short. Bought my 04' G35 with a clunk in the front end, asses the problem by replacing what I thought was the Compression Rod bushing. Wasn't the problem. Look at the problem even further and come to find out that it's the balljoint on the compression rod. So at this point I have to replace the whole rod. So I replace the rod and literally 2 days after I install it, it goes bad again.. So I just bought another arm from the dealership. I kinda would like to know if any of you guys would know what is causing them to go bad before I put the new arm on. Car has perfect alignment. Has two different tires with close to the same amount of tread on the front. Shakes a little bit on the highway with or without the new arm. Basically, I don't want to have to buy a new arm every two days, so I would like to know if anyone had any insight?

Thanks much!

you might want to try wheel balancing and/or check to make sure your rotor surface is even and not warped. Also you may want to try SPL FKS front compression rod bushings (https://www.splparts.com/store/produ...hp?pid272.html). hope this helps.

I went to go get new tires today to come and find out that I have two front bent rims.. Great

On a side note, the bushings are perfect and not torn at all. Rotors are good and not warped.

It shakes badly on the highway.
