Is this the 94 or the 92? It might be the tie rods possibly??? If it was from the right side, then someting aint right cause the driveshaft either went to the drivers side or the center on the D60(dont quote me on that) so you might want to check your ball joints.

Is the new ball-joint the same as the old one? I mean is the base the same thickness? I know it is a different year and much newer, but my buddy did his on his 98 250 4x4 and the driverside u-joint was hitting in the same place (on the bolt head). Luckly he had not junked the old ones yet and comparing them we found the new aftermaket was thicker and allowing the yoke to hit it. Just an idea.
