Upper Control Arm Shaft

I just replaced my upper control arm shafts and tightened the caps and mounting bolts. One side moves freely and the other is really stiff to the point where it doesn't drop down under the weight of the spindle assembly. Is this a problem?

Re: Upper Control Arm Shaft

Is the shaft centered between the bushings? As long as it is centered & greased it will loosen up after a while.
