Question Meyle HD sway bar links
Just bought them and about to install but they have movement on the bolts is that normal or no? They don't wiggle easily but you can move the bolts, are these bolts suppose to have movement ?

You're talking about the ball joint? It's designed to move, but should be firm.

Yes they are pretty firm, what kind of tool should I use to hold it in place while I tighten the bolt?

most have a 5 or 6mm allen / hex key hole in them. Hold it in place with that while you spin a wrench around the nut until its tight!
