Re: Knuckles hard to turn after ball joint replacment

how was the axle u-joint ? if getting stiff or binding this can cause memory steer if it parks in the wrong spot as it will bind in the same motion the knuckle wants to turn .

and there is a pull spec on the ball joints using a hanging scale on the tie rod hole of i think its 25lbs of drag / force to move the knuckle .

were these ball joints greaseable ? and i tend to do moog as lots of acdelco now is china stuff . always had good luck with moog my self .
