sierra 2wd 3d top strut bearing query

i managed to get top spring caps etc and assembled my front struts-the bearings seemed fine,cleaned and regreased them[choice of 4 i had,used best 2 which felt smooth as silk] when you turn the top mount after assy and buzzing down the top nut there is a fair bit of resistance-not stupid tight but its not totally free either-both are the same,is this normal? i would have expected the top mount to turn very freely...or is this just design...
i have spring cap,bearing,top cap all assembled just ready to fit back in
