Well today I attempted to lower my car again for the summer. I ran into a huge problem. The locking nut (bottom one) unlocks and moves freely but the top one doesnt. It wouldnt budge for anything in the world. Even using a breaker bar couldnt budge this thing.

Has anyone ran into this problem before? If so how did you correct it? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

 

impact gun

 

How an impact gun goint to loosen my coilovers? Its stuck at the piece where you twist to adjust the ride height.

 

Sounds like its siezed, Use lots of wd40 and/or PB blaster ( works great), and some heat wouldnt hurt too, take a torch to it for a very small amount of time, just enough to heat it up. If you presoak it in ANti-seize spray ( PB blaster or WD40), let it soak for 10 mins, then heat it up with the torch, that should do the trick to freeing it up.

 

spray it with wd40 and let it sit for a while then u should be able to turn it..i have tein basics and mine are fine..urs are probably rusty and it probably collects dust.
