Depends on what you mean by "cocked". The ball joints pivot at a different angle from the control arms to always keep the wheels vertical. If you''re concerned about wear, you can jack up one front wheel at a time, slide a long bar under the tire and lift up on the bar. If the joints are bad, you will see some up and down slop movement at the ball joints.

A picture sure would come in handy. Are you talking about where it mounts to the control arm, like it may not be completely in place?
