62 Front suspension rebuilt question

[Hadderz]

Hi, I've just done a front suspension rebuild and found the front spindles /hubs extremly hard to turn whilst hanging down. They are better when I jack the lower arm up as if the weight was on the wheel - so wondered if this was normal due to the angle??
(I'm not sure if this may be the A arms if they have been mixed up, did not know the left and right sides are different part numbers - they looked the same!)

Thanks Andy
