Do the same thing once you have the SPL arms installed but not to the knuckle. The arms will fall under their own weight.

Now think of every rubber bushing in the whole suspension system doing that. That is a lot of resistance. In the front you have 8 bushings. In the rear, you have 18 bushings.

Come to think of it. That's a LOT of monkey motion in the rear.
