Play in BMR Sway Bar Links

Anyone else install the BMR sway bar end links? I recently had them added to the GM 1LE sway bar kit, and there is a some play in the rear. I started hearing a clicking type noise, and since I just had them installed, I checked them out. When pulling side to side, there is a little play that is causing the clicking. Not much, one millimeter +/- 1mm. But much more than I would have expected, since I expected zero play. Anyone else experience this? Is a little play normal and I just never noticed it before because of the stock rubber bushings? I am a little concerned because I have two track days next week, and the shop I use is closed for the holiday.

There should not be any play. Sounds like either it is not torqued properly or the end link is defective?

It is definitely torqued correctly. I took the car to the track on Monday, and it felt super loose, so something is definitely not right. I have contacted Frank at BMR with the details, and he is looking into it. We'll see.
