Default loose 'solid' rear sway bar links after an autoX, is this right <video>

I installed solid front and rear sway bar links on my 93 c4 vert.

The fronts are tight, but the rears seem 'loose' to me.

They seemed kind of 'loose' when I first installed them, but after a first autoX with them, they are now more loose.

To be honest, Im not really sure what axis the movt is supposed to occur in.

I wanted to post this here because I figure you guys know your end links!

Is this normal? BTW Im running the front Z07 32mm? bar w/ no issues there and whatever rear bar (24 mm? ) that came stock with my 93 vert.

The movement is in the bar, the end link is simply following it as they should. You need to look at the bushings (pillow blocks) that connect the bar to the frame. Perhaps you can take another video.

Looks to me like you have loose or incorrect size bushings.
