it's said an a-arm should be free enough to fall under it's own weight. ive tried again and again to find this sweet spot that I don't think really exists. in my experience with both polybronze & the hard nylon type that took sanding & interior saw curfs to grease the contact surface ive never been able to get one to "fall" under it's own weight.
if you really think about it the a-arm's actual full rotation is very, very slight, maybe 20*? I have installed both types and make sure that it's under light binding load where the a-arm is in it's natural position about level with the ground. I would also exercise them under full rotation that's available to you to see that the force required is consistent through the range of movement.
I'd suspect if you have a lick of sense, and it seems you do undertaking a suspension rebuild you'd be able to feel if the binding would influence suspension loads of our car. the rears are harder to come to grips with when checking sag rate unless you install the spring plates w/o the tbars installed.. I do this too.
