New drop spindle wont budge.

[jay-dawg]

Hi guys,

I've finally made progress on the truck, but I hit a snag. the upper and lower control arms went on well. Greased the ball joints and fit the spindle on. It was tense for a moment because there wasn't enough weight to hold the truck down. Anyway... I got the spindle on, but it won't budge. I loosened the bottom castle nut to hand tight and the top one is as loosened to where I still feel safe. I tried putting on the rim and tire to see if additional weight would help....no help. Before I bolted everything together, I had put the spindle on the top joint and it moved pretty easy. I don't remember trying the lower balljoint. I'll be checking that today. Anyway, I think I might have gotten ripped off by "jokers" (checkers) on my ball joints. It may be the wrong ones. Anybody got any other ideas of what may be wrong?
