How do I adjust these control arms while on car? I had to shorten them from the length they were when I bought them (they were used) just to get them installed.
How do I make them longer now that they are on the car? They are BMR.

I would take it off the car and fix it. The nut you turn to adjust it (middle) should be evenly spaced between the jam nuts. Since you have no thread on the side that attaches to the body, it won't let it adjust either way. You're not supposed to thread the middle nut all the way to one side like that, you essentially just made it into a single adjustable (off car) lower control arm. Pull off the front side of the LCA and back it off the nut until there is the same amount of thread on that side as the other. Then spin the middle nut so that both sides begin to come "in" evenly. Then you can just spin the middle nut once the front is on the car to make it longer or shorter.
