Is it normal to not be able to move the stud around by hand with the
joint off the car, never installed? I'm probably just paranoid, but I
went the aftermarket route this time and was wondering if this is
normal. I can swivel the joints installed on my 91 w/ 143k miles by
hand. I guess my car will put a lot more force on them than my skinny arms.

Ditto. If it moves easily, it's bad or worn.
