I had to log in to ask about this because it sounded so wrong to me... why would you ever want to see a ball joint stud twist after installation?

Doesn't that mean the stud isn't actually seated in the spindle taper?

I was pretty dead sure stud is supposed to stay in place until you take the nut off and knock it loose from the spindle taper, at least that's how I've been operating for years.
