I put the Granada spindels with disc brakes on my 54 Ranch Wagon and after torquing the upper ball joint to 80 ft lbs and the lower ball joint to 100 ft lbs, it takes 2 hands to move spindle side to side.  I did the same thind to the other side and it moves freely.  Can you torque a ball joint too much.  What do you thinks is wrong?
