Just installed thrust washers on my QA1's...hit them with a little WD40 and now they can be very EASILY adjusted. I have had them on the car for 5 years without the bearings and nearly killed my hands trying to get them adjusted higher at one time. Never got the car's front end up like I wanted to. Doing the other side sometime tomorrow and hopefully will add 2+ inches to the front end. Get the bearings if you don't have them now.
