Not sure what that is. Axle ball joints? Are they supposed to articulate?

I thought the upper joints were non-articulating (stock design), but I might be wrong.

(Non-articulating meaning the stud only spins/rotates, but does not move around like a typical ball joint. Hope that makes sense - I'm struggling to put my mental picture into words!)

That's the way the ones were that I just installed. I thought that was normal.
