Default ZX6 Wishbone issue

Building my ZX6 and haven't got far before discovering an issue (my error I am sure!). It tells you to use B and D inserts for the suspension hangers on front and rear of car and as I starting off with stock build I did as I was told!
Problem is wishbones are stiff on the hinge pins I guess due to the angle of them. I always aim to build any car with wishbones that are completely free and fall under their own weight whereas these don't! Will they free up over time or have I done something wrong?

Nope they should be free

Are you using any spacers? Any chance of a photo of the underside? Showing the wishbones in the hinge pin holders

I am running the little spacers on front as per manual but it tells you no spacers on rear. The hinge pins do look at an extreme angle. The inserts are fitted as per manual (i.e. the little letter B or D facing the right direction if that makes sense.
Ill get pic and see if I can post but photo bucket has changed its menu and I can't work out how to post!
Leave it with me...

B-in to D-out is 3deg toe in.

Most I have ever had to do is gently sand a few microns off the wishbone, shouldn't need to be much.

The anti-squat setting can also have an effect.

Thanks Rodger. Put it another way, what would you suggest is a good starting point re anti squat and toe in for indoor carpet? Manual set up says R - D in and out 1mm anti squat and F - B in and out and .5mm anti squat
Looking at rear it is pretty severe toe in at D in and out so I've done something wrong....
