>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?

Bud, do you have the shock installed?  The shock is the down travel limit
and without it the suspension will drop until something wlse binds.
