tighten hip on 1/60 vf-1?

Couldn't find an answer when searching through the forums, so sorry if this has been answered before. A link would be great if there is an answer already! Just received my 1/60 vf-1s with optional parts today. The hip joints on this new one are a little looser than any of my other yamato 1/60s. Not to the point of causing pose problems, just noticeably looser. I was just wondering if there is a way to tighten those joints? Thanks!

I also had a somewhat similar issue on my 1S Hikaru with option parts. The swing bar seems to easily pop off the nosecone in battroid despite having them click into place.

| If it pops off easily just add some glue to the plastic clamps to thicken the grips. If the swing bars are floppy, there isn't much you can do about it. Don't try to hammer the sides of the swing bar joint. The metal is really brittle.

Yeah my problem is the actual ball joint where the swing bar goes into the leg. All my other valks I can pick up by the leg with no movement in the body. This new one moves as that ball joint is not as tight as the other valks. Can you take the leg apart to put glue on the end of the ball joint or something?
