Default Articulation in stock JK Sway Bar Links vs Disconnects

Hi All,

Not sure if I am describing what I am talking about clearly but...

The stocks connect and disconnect by the bolt on bottom..but the top of the links have this ball end joint that articulates so there is some leeway between the sway bar and the axel.

I noticed my Rough Country disconnects do not have the articulation ball end joint but rather just bolt on the top as well. I've noticed that the Jeep has stiffer handling since the installation (I sort of like it actually) and am wondering do you think this has any negative effects?

Are the JKS Quicker's built the same way?

The new discos may be binding on the swaybar and/or mount.

Did you put on the lift at the same time?

I just ask because when I installed my quick discos I noticed absolutely no change in the handling. Maybe you have a more sensitive bottom then I do? I kid.
