Hello list,

I installed one side of the front suspension on a bare chassis (no tub, 
engine, etc.), working towards a rolling chassis. Everything seemed OK until 
I released the tension on the spring compressor. Now the vertical link is 
extremely difficult to rotate. The ball joint seems to be binding. Its rubber 
gaiter is compressed between the vertical link and the ball joint. Is this 
normal until I've gotten the chassis laden with the engine and tub? I 
tightened everything to spec. Should evevything be loosened until fully 
laden?

Thanks in advance, 
Bud Trussell
