best bet is to look at another corsa n see see if you can spot anything diffrent maybe you missed somthing
also make sure its the correct part for the car!

I'd be inclined to go back where you got the parts and see if you got the right ball joint, as im sure they differ between power steering and non power steering. Theres only a couple off mm diference but that is enough to cause your play. You could always mesure the old ball part in comparison to the new one and see if there different.
