Swaybar End Link Question...

I finally got my parts I imported in for my I30. I bought Moog swaybar endlinks and bushings. However, I noticed that one of the endlinks is about twice as stiff as the other. Did I get a bad one or one just needs more grease in it? I really hope not cuz I already paid alot of money getting the parts imported here.

most of the new end links i get a very stiff at first, sometimes i have to use pliers to hold the end to get it to move around. after a few turns left and right, up and down, they are good to install. they should be fairly stiff. last thing you want is to install loose end links.

I installed them today and I will say it was badly needed. the old endlinks took no effort to move and the passenger side swaybar bushing was in two pieces. I also found out that the previous owner put on KYB GR2 struts on it. Now to find out whats making noise in the rear.
