What's up Club Lex I just received my MOOG Ball Joints and Tie Rods.The right Tie Rod joint is stiff and solid it doesn't move at all.Now my other parts move not loosely but on the stiff side I need to no is this normal or my parts are defects your knowledge its much appreciated.

new balljoints will be much stiffer than used ones and require quite an amount of force to move by hand.. don't worry.

I think what MrDuke is trying to say is that his NEW parts (4 in total) only 1 (right tie rod) is stiff.

I have no idea what to expect from the MOOG parts, I just did this exact maintenance on my 2000 GS300 and used Sewell parts.
