Knuckle preload SST (1 Viewer)

[BLASCO]

I'm doing my first knuckle job on my FJ62. I also replaced steering box, arms, rods, TRE's, and knuckle kit. After partially tightening, I noticed they were binding up bad so I added shims to the top and set preload to 10 lbs. My knuckles and bearings still dont turn very smoothly and hang up in the centered position. I assumed the new high steer arms were the cause of shims needing changed or else PO had it set wrong. I was hoping bottom ones for centering were OK. Bearings packed with moly. Rechecked races are seated. Maybe machining of new parts is bad? Not sure where to go from here except to do it the right way with a SST. Does anyone have a SST to loan, rent, sell or have a good place to buy one? I am up in the Lake Stevens WA area.
