Anyone had problems with Dorman Control Arms?

I noticed a noise coming from the right front. Took the wheel off, jacked the hub up and noticed the stabilizer link was moving in the control arm. The hole the stabilizer link goes into is getting bigger... Has anyone had this problem. The stabilizer was torqued to specs and tight. It is as if the metal is weak... Update, after I posted this, I went and looked at the original control. It seems that the whole is bigger than the stabilizer link stud. So, basically, I have the infamous front end noise and can't figure it out

That is a common problem with Non-OEM control arms.
