. . . but I need some advice on making my adjustable track bar adjust!!!!!!

The bar is slightly. I've loosened the nut just south of the joint, but the damn thing won't budge.

Once you're all done flaming my rookie arse . . . please give me a bit of advice on what to do.

Thanks

With the nut loose the end will rotate. If it's stuck, put a wrench on it. Mine adjusted easily.

You do have one end unhooked from the truck so it can rotate right?

It isn't on the truck.

I was trying to loosen it up before I put it on and it wouldn't budge.

Mine was a major PITA. After you've got the nut loose, just get a really long cheater bar, put the track bar in a vice, and crank on it.

One halve threads into the other and to adjust it you rotate one end relative to the other so if both ends are bolted to the truck it cannot be adjusted. Are you with me? Also have you doused it with PB Blaster or the like?

I soaked it down but good with Pblaster last night. Like I said before, it isn't on the truck.

I'll go at it with a long bar tonight.

Thanks for the advice everyone . . . when I was having at it yesterday, I felt like a real :spam: for brains cause I couldn't get the thing to move.

As a reminder, a fair amount of track bars have left handed threads at the adjustment end. Make sure you aren't tightening it, while trying to adjust it...

OK . . . flame my sorry butt . . .
