Lower control arm shaft replacement 70 c10 help

[demian5]

So I’m replacing the lower control arm shafts on my truck. What a pain in the ass. 1-5/8” socket? Good luck, got a big ass crescent wrench from harbor freight...

Anyways got them changed, the passenger side is smooth and falls on its own when pulled up, I had to keep tightening it till the slop was out of it though.

The driver side, from the start was hard to tighten and once tight, is very hard to move up and down. I’m thinking that it will loosen after time, but which is right?

Should they both be really tight or really loose and free?

Shafts are centered, I greased them (driver side not before installing, passenger side had some kind of lube on it). I’m not ok leaving it lie this, something is wrong.
