Just went through the same thing myself.  I lubed the ball joint,
and put a jack under the trunnion and raised it, simulating the car
sitting on wheels.  No problems with tightness after that.
Lower the jack, the tightness returns.  I expect this condition  
to be pretty "normal" until the system beds in.
