i pressed the new dana/spicer ball joints into the housings. instructions are very minimal - "torque upper to 35lb, lower to 140/160 (i guess 150?), then torque upper to 70, advance to next slot (it ended on a slot, so i just put in the cotter pin). that's it. says nothing about setting the sleeve into the upper (kind of a bushing that fits around the upper joint). so, before i torqued to bottom, i tapped the bushing down tight into the hole as it needs the flat side facing out. i then torqued it to 35lb, the bottom to 150-155lb, then the upper to 70lb. it just seems that the housing is a bit stiff to turn by hand, takes some pressure. is this normal?
