UMI adj control arms locked up
Was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I have a set of UMI adjustable lower control arms and they are locked up. I cannot adjust them at all. I have tried a pipe wrench and crescent wrench. Tried putting the control arm in a vise which ended up messing up the powder coat a bit which I knew would happen, but still no luck getting them to budge. Any ideas? Heat was gonna be my next step.

Once you get it apart. Try a dry film lubricate on the threads. It comes in a spray can. Lightly coat the threads and let dry under heat. We usually use a heat lamp at 150 degrees for 30 minutes. On the rod ends. I used a CPC hard film(also sprayable). Or a bi monthly treatment with WD-40.
