I have rebuilt a front fork with a new chrome fork, bushings and seal.

All is installed but the spring is not compressed with the upper bolt.


The upper brass bushing looks like it is that sintered porous bronze material


When I very lightly tighten the collar the locks the oil seal and the brass bush into place, the fork

can be slide up and down with very little hand pressure.


But when I fully tighten the collar, the fork gets very stiff but can be just moved in some spots with significant hand pressure. In some spots on the chrome fork it is essentially locked if I fully tighten


Is this normal? Have you any advice on this?
