Without the torsion bar attached they should move easily without any side to side movement. That is how you check for binding before tightening the strut bars. Snug up the LCA pivot bolt, but do not tighten completely until the weight of the car is on the ground.
Torsion bar piece doesn’t move now, plenty of free play for the arm around it. The lca pin is locked down tight in the k-frame now, still move it up and down with one finger.
