When the spindle/hub are fitted to the car but without the steering arm connected, should the spindle/hub "steer" freely or should there be some resistance?

Stinky,
Assuming that you have new balljoints there should be some resistance, however if the balljoints are used than it should turn fairly freely

The ball-joints are only 3334 miles old (just checked

Stinky,
There are two types of balljoints, one is the standard balljoint, that is greasable. this normlly have metal parts inside them, cups springs etc and wear out fairly quickly. The other type is what they call nylon encapsulated, these are non greasable. This is where they have a nylon (teflon) type of material that encapsulates the ball and is basically poured into the balljoint housing under pressure. these can be very stiff for some time, they require no grease because there is no metal on metal wear.
Which type do you have?
