A moveable link for an active exterior component on a vehicle. The moveable link provides a sealed connection between the outer link and the base link and fixed link. This sealed connection prevents debris from contaminating the area where the outer link rotates about the pin, thereby preventing unwanted noises. Furthermore, the sealed connection also prevent corrosion between the outer link and the pin, which can lead to failure of the moveable link.
