KYB AGX problem

Si I finally got my prokit/agx installed, and now I cannot adjust the front strut. Anyone else w/this setup experiencing probs? The passenger side adjusts, no problem, but the drivers side won't turn for the life of me! The plastic is almost stripped and it just won't go. Any feedback/suggestions will help. Thanks.

Try tapping the top of the strut with a hammer LIGHTLY!!!
And then try to turn it...if you have stripped the plastic, then you have tried to turn too hard...it should take almost no force to turn the adjuster.
If you didn't push the adjuster in properly or tried to turn it without pushing it in, it may be broken and need to be replaced

One of the struts turn, no problemo....the other---stuck.

I just don't want to have to deal w/ the takeoff/install process again.

i had the WRX AGX and had the exact same problem with the exact same strut. i've also heard of other people having problems with the LF strut as well. i'm sure you could find it with a search.

but basically, you'll have to get the strut swapped out. warrantee shouldn't be a problem, gruppe-s just traded me broken for fixed. gary and maximus are the shizzle.
