Tubular UCA install questions

Ok- did the trimming and have the first one so it will move throughout full travel from top until it hits the rubber stop at the bottom.

How easily should it pivot? Like should gravity lower it to the bottom, or is it ok if I have to push it up/down with moderate force?
if the cam bolts are tight, you will need to overcome that friction to move it. See how it moves without the strut bar attached, then attach the bar and retest for free movement.
