the cammed socket (torsion bad adjuster) is part of the lower control arm - it does not get removed.

If what you're asking is if the piece that the torsion bar slips in to can be removed from the lower control arm, it can't be removed.

Maybe I shoulda said it isn't SUPPOSED to be removed. A flaming wrench and a BFH can take just about anything apart

Thanks for the info. I guess I will just leave it as is and do my best to freshen it up. I was looking at a CAP products lower control arms, but I already have to Magnum Force for upper A arms and I don't think that the 400 hundred extra dollars is going to give me more performance, just bling factor only. Any tips on how to restore this part to perform better.

Freshen an LCA to perform better?
Use a good Moog bushing and box the arm.
