u need to have the bolts tight. but how hard r they to move? if the r just stiff, then u should be fine. mine were a little stiff, but r great now.

Two things to ckeck, first check the length of the metal sleave and make sure you torque them to specs. If they are to tight they will be a bi~~ch to move. Believe me i have had this ploblem in the past with Houser arms. good luck

The service manual says to torque the arm bolts at 29foot lbs. I hopw that helps you out
