steering question

[powerbar]

was reading adoldxj's thread and was wondering just how tight should the pivot balls be cause if i take out the side play it's hard to turn the wheels left/right . i'm not talking about torquing down the caps, just making contact and it's hard to turn. as it is i have about 1/8th inch of play for the wheels to turn smoothly. these are new, will i be able to reduce that play as they wear ? thanks for your imput

i believe you tighten them good then back off a little so they move freely..hopefully someone with more experience will post up for you..
