Do you mean they are extremely tight?
(at the cross shaft bushing?)

Any or all of the front end parts new?

Or do you think you just have an electrical problem?

Re: lower a-arms

yes at the shaft with the bushings is tight i loosened the nuts and it got a little better but still no go and they are old i tried to have the bushings replaced at a shop and the guy said the arms were flexing and he didnt want to bend them, the upper bushings are new and operate smoothly.Now as far as the wiring i'm not sure whats going on. its pretty straight forward color coded but when i accuate a switch say #1 the right rear moves and its supposed to be the left front one more thing when I use a schrader with a tee in front it does raise and lower

Re: lower a-arms

Sounds like your supply lines are routed to the wrong valves.
