I'm not exactly sure. I guess I wasn't careful enough last time I adjusted them and some dirt/crap got stuck in the threads. I usually douse the threads in two or three coats of PB blaster to get the dirt off and lube up before I make adjustments. The other three seemed to work just fine, but this one I guess had some dirt in it when I lowered it down a little bit. It's either that or it scratched up the body and the internal threads and it's got rust in there now and it's locked the damper at that height. Either way I'm going to be lubing it up and trying to raise it up. (the reason it was set lower was because I had originally different wheels in the front, so I made it level by lowering the rear).
I'm tempted to send an Email to tein to see what their recommendation would be, but I'm putting my car in the shop come friday (fix up the sway bars for me), so I may have him look at it and see if they'll get it moving for me again--figure it couldn't hurt to do that.
