then just back track everything you have undone and double check.

ARB is tight to the chasis? also tight to the TCA? TCA tight at each end?

you havent undone the top of your suspension strut in an atempt to drop the hub and over sighted that?

and your certain the hub nut is tight, and the shaft joint is fully home into the hub?

Should you be able to turn the front wheels easily. Surley the diff should put up some resistance.With one wheel lifted you can feel the resistance when you try to turn the lifted wheel.
