Lower A arm to upright

nybsMember

How tight should the lower a arm to upright assembly be. I have new replacement assembly and bushings in and it seems to be awfully stiff is this something that should loosen over time or should it swing freely from the get go.
Thanks in advance.

Gerry,

It should not be "tight" and should allow free (but not slack) movement.

Please contact me if you can at:

Looks like I will need to disassemble and work on the brass bushings till I get enough free play.

I replaced a set on one side when I redid my axle bearings. They to were tight when I trial fit the shaft through them after pressing them in. I just made a flabber roll with a piece of round stock and some emery cloth, put in my cordless drill, and buffed them out till the shafts fit was free and smooth.
