It only requires a 25% load on the springs in the tie rod and drag link ends.

As a suggestion, after completing installation, have someone move the free play in the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the ends of the tie rod and drag link; there should be no movement at the steering arms and pitman arm; if there is movement take another turn in on the plug end that moves.

The last item, when complete, check the toe in on your front wheels as any change in the tie rod length will effect toe in.

Hope I have not confused you.
