Ball joint and spindle resistance

Hey everyone, I am doing a drop member version 6 on a '63. I installed the CPP spindles on the ball joints supplied with the drop member and I'm surprised at the amount of force needed to move the spindles. The upper ball joint is bolt in and the bottom is press fit. I used a ball joint press and let the ball joints sit in the freezer overnight. They were a tight fit but didn't seem to be too challenging to press in with a C-clamp style ball joint press. The ball joints are pro forged. Any body have any input for me? I torqued the lowers to 90ftlbs. And the uppers to 50ftlbs.
