Need Help with adjusting torsion bars - something is stripped

[preid]

Can anyone help determine what/which part is stripped - I'm able to adjust the LH torsion bar with no problem, however, when I turn the adjustment screw on the RH side, its very hard to turn and it makes a snapping sound after about a 20 degree turn.  So, I'm guessing something is stripped, either the screw mechanism or the torsion bar isn't rotating correctly.  Either way, I'm guessing I'll have to remove the torsion bar.  Has anyone experienced this and can give me some insight to fix this?  And, yes, I did loosen the pivot nut.

thanks for the help!

it might just be "dry threads"...get some PB Blaster from local part store and spray it on there..see if it helps

When adjusting take the load of it by jacking up the car.

Yeap, sound like a stripped TB adjusting screw or block.  Someone sells a replacement so they are available and not really expensive.  I looked in Firm Feel or Just suspensions and saw nothing but springsnthings may have them.

I sell quite a few of LCA adjuster bolts & blocks all the time.

Yes, I did use a lot of PB Blaster and raised the front end up to take the load, I'll check into getting a replacement adjuster screw and block.  I suspect the most difficult part will be removing the TB itself

thanks for all the help!
