I agree that they come too tight from the factory. Mine had the nuts 2mm under the kingpin end, and it was making an annoying squeaking noise, suggesting that there was too much stress on the bushings. I removed the nuts and tightened them just enough so that the steel cup will not move up and down when I turn. Basically it corresponds to the nuts a little bit higher than the kingpin end. It was nice, but after a couple of sessions the bushings got harder, so I had to adjust about 1/2 turn left on the nuts to get back that nice loose feeling. Since that time, I have the same constant feeling session after session, which I truly appreciate.
