Replace front shocks

Just replaced the front shocks on a 2005 E2.
Manuel says leave them loose till off jacks the tighten to 60#.
My question is…if I tighten to 60# the shocks will bind in the mounts and not move. Are shocks supposed to be able to move freely on the mounting bolt?

Answered my own question…thanks

I am looking for a pair of front shocks for my 2005 GEM. Can you tell me where you found yours. Thanks.

Nev accessories Phoenix or a suburb of Phoenix…love. Them
