did you fit thrust washer in bottom of top bush ,12lb on steering arm with spring balance ie fishing scales
 
You haven't put any shims or gaskets in the bottom pin, have you? Should be pretty much locked up with no shims and the top and bottom bolts torqued up correctly.
 
No shims in bottom. I have not put steering arm on yet will that make diff?. I know you come off that to check 12ld . Should still lock up with just top pin in?.
 
well you do have to have steering arm bolted on to push brg up no wonder you have no preload which is checked with top and bottom tight
