on my 2000 ex 4x4 because they were binding. but the new ones are in the same bind. the passenger side is firm but what i would think to be normal. the drivers side takes all i have to move it. i am fairly certain i got the ball joints seated completely. anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?

for those who are curious what the problem was. i did not remove and reseat the camber sleeve. after popping the knuckle off and removing the sleeve, i cleaned it and it's bore. then i greased it and tapped it back in, leaving it a bit high so when i tightened the upper ball joint down, it would seat properly. now it's all happy and working like it should.
