XRF balljoints-any problems switching them out to another brand?

Has anyone who has had XRF ball joints had any problem installing another brand after they remove the XRF joints? I've read some threads on here that say that there may be an issue switching to another brand after XRF ball joints are installed because XRF joints may widen the ball joint cup on the spindle, and other ball joints like the stock ones or Dynatrack ones are too "narrow" once XRF ball joints are pressed in. Supposedly this might be due to XRF machining their ball joints to be 0.003" larger than the stock ones.

Has anyone actually had this issue though? I have XRF ball joints in place, and the top one has a total of about 0.035" worth of lateral play. I'm waiting for XRF to get back to me in terms of a spec, but if I want to switch them out to Dynatrack, will I have trouble?

Thanks in advance-
