Front control arm rotation force with polybronze

Hi.
So I’m installing control arms with polybronze bushings and I’m not sure how much rotation resistance is too much. I have them pressed in in original mounts. I test installed the control arms and when I tighten the rear bolt the arm rotation stiffens up. When I tighten the front ones it stiffens up more. I would estimate it takes about 5lb force at the ball joint to rotate the arm. Is this too much? Should it be free to rotate or is some resistance ok?

Thanks

Pete
