Ok, maybe we're on to something, as replied to previously. Once in a long while somebody get's a BX with the lower link ball joints just plain too tight. That's the way mine were! No amount of lube or [power] wire brushing or anything would free them up. If that proves to be the case with yours, attached is how I fixed mine. Obviously, it's a demonstration pic and you need to do the fix on a concrete floor or anvil, not a wood floor like my pic. I used a 3# hammer to pound on the bolt to get the ball to make more room in it's socket. It took some time but worked perfectly. All 4 of mine were too tight to move at all without a bar.
