I agree. I have used them on tie rod ends but not on a ball joint.

How did you get that reading? Did you just turn on the key and let the fuel pump build up pressure or is the car running? It seems a little low. Do you have an adjustable pressure regulator?

Agreed ..... need more info .... is this running or not? You need to do a not running leak down test. Hook up your guage, cycle the key to on to let the fuel pump kick on and mark your max pressure, then see how long it takes to bleed off.

that was key on, car off.

That is a little low. It should be around 40+ psi. If you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator you might want to bump it up a bit.
