some people with bound ball cups have said the EXACT same thing to me. Then when i free up their cups properly they thank me.
reaming the ball cups is the best option but polishing can help as well.

because stock ball cups bind without work done to the cup or stud. Pinching the ball caps help some but they still have some bind.

None had any binding with the cups.
Seen others have this problem before though.
I just replace the offending cup.
Everytime I check the old cup it had been screwed onto the rod to far.Cup gets a dent on the inside where the rod bumped though.
Just saying....

Rc , can say use what ever works for you .
Just wanted to get a better understanding why your polishing & give my reasons I don't have to do.

personally, i dont polish. I cut two threads off the JC turnbuckles, and then use a ball stud with slits cut in it to ream the ball cups. You should try.. will make tacompton setup soooo dialed.

I posted a video a while back showing brand new stud with brand new cups. And the rod were only threat in by 2-3 threads. And they would stand up in the air without a load. I tried the same with with several different new cups and studs and it was 100% the same thing. To me a proper link is free moving like the tlr22 cups in my video. My cups are "ok" after being worked, but they are no where near the freeness of the tlr cups. But they are probably "free enough" I guess. I agree that the cup ream is probably the best method. I have not got around to ordering one and trying it yet. A guy I know bought them and I might see if I can play with it between rounds.
Here was the video.

I really do not understand why people just don't get it. The ball cups on our new cars are basically "eyelets" not cups like previous cars. Brand new ones can come a little out of round too. Even if your turn buckles are the "perfect" length, if you REALLY slam a pipe or have a BAD barrel roll, more times than not the eyelet/cup will distort in shape, causing a bind. If you take your pliers and give it a squeeze in the RIGHT place, bingo! Free as a bird again! No polishing and no rocket science involved either.
