Default Faucet prob

Just finished replacing O rings on a moen single lever faucet to improve the
swivel on the spout. all went great until I now have very low pressure on
the cold water position and the cold range is very small. no leaks good shut
off and good hot water pressure. What went wrong?

It sounds like something either shifted inside the unit or the unit
was reassembled out of alignment.

Have you taken the faucet apart to see if perhaps the ball (if there
is one) is centered properly or if a o-ring or other part does not
seem to be lined up the symmetrically?

Another option is to remove the 180 deg restriction so the handle can
turn full circle and see if it helps
