Rear ahc adjustment bracket rust

[swoop]

Hi all, I was raising the rear neutral height on my somewhat rusted lx and instead of the bolt breaking loose to allow the unit to slide up and down, the washer on the other side broke loose, and now spins with the bolt. That means there is now no tightening back down the rear adjustment bolt, and it can slide. What are my repair options?

Will need the nut too.

Great thanks. Hard replacement job? I’m not under the truck anymore but it looks like it’s pretty straight forward.
Also, any particular nut needed? Or just any that fits the threads.

Well, if the bolt spins, you'll have to clamp it down with a vise grip or something. Penetrating oil. I don't quite remember but I think it uses a flange nut. Stainless Steel might be wise. Worse case, you would need to cut the bolt off with a cut-off wheel or Dremel. Careful not to break the height sensor.
