    So made the switch to fox 2.5 RR in the front. During install, the passenger spindle was very hard to move. Wondering if it's a ball joint, misalignment spacer in icon ica? Nothing looked obviously dry, bent, or broken. What would cause this? Yes, even with the tie rod off, spindle was very hard to move around. Thanks for any information!

    Is your ball joint binding at full droop?

    Well upon closer inspection, noticed some off markings in the uniball on the passenger side. Very hard to move, looks like delta joints are in my future. Will post pics soon !!
