Problem with my 1999 TL suspension.

I own a 1999 Acura TL.

Due to a camber issue noticed during its last alignment it became necessary to replace parts so that the camber could be adjusted.

I picked up a pair of adjustable upper control arms/links for the rear and a pair of upper control arms with adjustable ball joints for the front.

My question/problem is with the fronts. It appears that the factory control arms attach to the chassis with a spherical ball joint.

However, the new control arms have a cylindrical ball joint. Now after everything is back together and aligned going over certain types of bumps in the road creates a knocking/banging in the suspension. I am under the impression that it is the cylindrical ball joints binding.

Will this cause any damage if they are left on the vehicle?

Thank you in advance for your help.
