Default Ground Controls not lowering...

My front right Ground Control Coilover will not lower at all! There no no rust on it what so ever. It would go up and down with no problem until I installed it. Anyone have any advice or had a similar problem???

Double check your shocks, it could be sitting on eachother. Redo everything.

Make sure the spring is not compressed at all. If the spring is compressed and pushing down on the perch, it will be extremely hard to turn.

And this is obvious of course, but make sure you loosened the allen-head bolt.

Jack up your car, loosen the lock and adjust away.... It'll be hard to adjust height when the spring is sitting on it. Also, spray some wd-40 or something on it to loosen and lube it.

Sometimes the bolt that holds the perch tight gets stuck. If that happens give it a good shot of wd40 or something similar.
