Spindles to balljoints question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just popped in my new spindles, one side fits nicely without having to crank the lower balljoint nut down too tightly but the balljoint stud on the other side I really have to wrench the nut down to allow the cotter pin through. I haven't checked the torque specs yet but it seems the spindle is kind of stiff to turn, you can move it with one hand alright but I'm wondering how free the spindle should move back and forth? Any comments?
