How loose should these be when I pull the spindle off? I'm debating replacing them, but curious if I need to.

My CPP spindles and brakes are all finally here and I've pulled the spindle lose on the passenger side. The joint, itself looks good, but of course the grease is nasty and dried up from sitting for years. Some parts move very freely, some are a bit stiff. Nothing has movement up /down in the joint.

It's on my 60, cpp's kit is a few weeks out and $300, so I hate to replace if I don't need to, but also don't want to be right back here in two months if I should.
