Post a pic, it might show what's happening. What is binding, is it the ball joint itself?

I do remember when I first started putting mine together it also looked wrong while pointing up, then I realised I'd not wound it in at all, and I had the most obscene positive camber!

Are you over moving it?

The suspension travel is not great! Mine face up

Many thanks all sorted for other users what it was was 2 things the first the mushroom was a quarter a turn out facing the split and not the front but the main reason was the shocks they are 13.5" open the extra travel made it bind even though i relocated the mounts a bit but not a problem will just use an 1" helper spring
