steering knuckel

[neal]

I bought a gmc paul disc brake conversion kit for my 69, the ft. end came apart very nicely-should have been a clue. installed new knuckel, when i torqued it, the upper balljoint ( upper and lower new) nut went a thread past the cotter key hole, perhaps after market tolerance, the lower lined up normal. The knuckels feels to tight, I don't have a spring scale but I would guess it takes 15-20 lbs to move it. The dums I removed folped. makes me think upper ball joint is to narrow, if so, that makes me wonder about the lowers? any suggestions??
