Control Arm Tight?

We put one of the lower control arms on the crossmember and it's pretty tight. Is this normal? I would think that it wouldn't make a difference with the weight of the truck.

Re: Control Arm Tight?

Just did upper & lower with new shafts and bushings on mine and they were very tight, I just put that down to the fact that everything was new and the slack from before was because they were worn. Pack the ends of the shafts really well with grease and that should be that.
