I hung my front axle back on yesterday and have a question. How tight should the castings fit on the balls on the tie rod and pitman arm? Also, what do you suggest for lube?

Tight enough NOT to bind then after you've fitted them apply chassis grease.

Tighten like Steve said, and for grease, I like the "red stuff". Lasts all year. I take 'em apart every spring, clean up the joints, inspect for trouble, re-grease, and you're good to go for the season.
