Lower A-Arn Stiffness Question
Hello everyone, and let me start off by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. I've just complete installing a complete front end rebuild on my 69 C/10 using the kit from Early Classic (Moog). I ordered the 71-72 kit since the cradle has been swapped with a 72 to ad disc brake. Everything seems fine except the amount of effort it take to move the Lower A-Arm. When the new lower shaft assemblies were installed I made sure they were centered, and torqued the Control Bushing Nuts to 90 ft/lbs ( instructions say 85 - 100 ). Now that the A-Arms are installed they extremely stiff, (requireing both hand to move them up and down). I have never done this kind of work before, so I've got a few questions. First of all, Is this normal, and just require time to break in?, Second, If not normal, what am I doing wrong? And Finally has anyone else ran in to the problem, and what did it take to correct? Thank You, Jason
