Sway bar links (how much play?)

[69shelby]

When I did my frt brakes I notice some play in the swaybar link, not sure how much play is normal, should it be tight or a little sloppy? Thanks.

all it is is another form of ball joint a lil play isnt too bad but if you can move it back and forth a 1/4 inch or so there gettin close so order u some new ones then be ready to cut your old ones off theyre a real one thing or another itll strip
