I found a few threads on this but wanted to get new feedback from people if there is any. I installed the delrin offset upper control arm bushings on my car and am installing the arms now. I greased the shit out of the outside of the bushings and the washers with mobil1 grease and now some marine grease; when torqued to the factory 75ftlb, the arm is immobile by hand and when compressing the suspension with a jack, it moves but is then barely collapses back down.

Would it be okay to run a lower torque spec, around 55 ftlbs here? Or am I using the wrong kind of grease? I understand that with the hub, brakes and wheel attached the weight would be enough to move it but it seems way too stiff

 

contact origin fab. he will tell you if you did not do something correctly during your install. https://originfabrication.com/

 

Check the 6:00 minute mark. The arms will not move around loosely. It looks like he applies a decent amount of force moving them back and forth - but they do move freely along the range. Does your look like this?

Edit: just to add - i've done this mod myself as well. The arms moved like the ones in the video. They definitely required some effort to move up and down, but I could do it with my own strength - unassisted by tool providing mechanical advantage.
