[oletrucks] steering knuckle, how difficult

["Tom Cooper" <tntcoop@earthlink.net>]

How difficult should it be to turn the steering knuckle back and forth
after replacing the upper and lower ball joints? I also replaced the
coil springs and control arm bushings, but I wouldn't think that would
matter.
I did grease the ball joints and the tie rods are not connected. I
noticed that on the lower ball joint, the cotter pin hole is actually
above the castle nut.
                Thanks
