Torsion bar adjusters sticking way out of control arm?

Glad it worked out.

My old adjuster on that pictured LCA came out with a ratchet after I lubed them with Justice Brothers JB-80 penetrant lube. Then I used my recently purchased thread clean-up set to get the dirt out and straighten out the threads. Those are not meant to cut threads, just clean them without wearing/cutting the threads. Works awesome for a 48 piece $65 complete set.

Now with more JB-80 on the threads, the adjuster turns with my fingers!
HELLO, I know this is a dead thread, But.. When I was a kid, the Thread Cleaning Chasing Taps and Thread Files were Common. Can You provide me a place to get the cleaning taps?
Also, 1 quick Question, can OLD t-bars settle as much as 1 or 2 inches just while sitting for a while?
