Unhappy 150 Ball joint

Here's a story for all. I took my '98 F150 2WD 200,000km in for a tune-up, service & alignment. When they put her on the hoist the right lower ball joint fell apart. The stud had broken off of the ball! It was a clean break with no fractures around it at all. Almost as though it was made that way. Didn't appear to have been broken long though as it wasn't beat up too much. Any one ever have this happen?

I don't know, I've got it somewhere at the shop but I can't remember where.
