Torsion bar adjuster - where to purchase a decent set?

[hunt2elk]

Tonight I playing around with the height of the front end on my Charger. I was attempting to raise the drivers side another 1/4" to equal the passenger side and all of a sudden KABOOM. The threads totally stripped out of the block. Luckily nothing on myself or the car was damaged. These were about the only things that I didn't replace on the front end of the car, and now it comes back to bite me. So I am wondering if all replacements are the same, or are some better? I see Jegs and Summit have the same order #. Mancini has a different one. Any other recommendations on where the best place to buy a pair would be?

Thanks guys, I ended up buying the ones made by QA1. They are nice beefy pieces.

Can I ask a question, when you adjusted them, did you jack the car up first? Not trying to be smart, just helpful.

Yeah, I put it on the hoist when making adjustments now lol. I also used anti seize on the threads. I've always made adjustments on my cars when they are sitting on the ground - but no more.

I understand, I'm lazy. Those bolts turn a lot easier with no weight on the bars. I never go more than 1/2 turn at a time, bounce the car and check again. Sure beats ford and Chevy front ends, though.

Are the threads in the control arm OK?

What threads are you referring to Meep? The threads that stripped were in the torsion bar adjuster block.

No threads in the LCA for that function. Threaded block fits into LCA and accept adjusting bolt.

Thanks Chicken. Thought I was losing my mind there for a minute lol. Couldn't think of any other threads that could have been bad.
