Balljoints: how tight?

<I thought I had already wrote this, but I can't find the post)

Hi all.

How tight (torque figure?) should I do the balljoints?
As soon as I start to reallly tight'em, they got stuck and don't rotate (steering movement)

Thanks in advance,
Joao

the taper doesnt rotate in the hole, its the acutal ball joint that allows it to turn. Unless that not what you mean?

Thanks a lot.

Indeed a brainless moment...
The balljoints are new and don't allow a great deal of movement, but good enought...

Thanks,
Joao
