An adjuster mechanism (20) that includes an adjustment gear (30), a housing (26) with a radial lip (88), and a ball stud (24) having stud teeth (120) and a threaded portion (112) threadingly engaged with the lip (88) to retract and extend the ball stud (24) relative to the lip (88) during rotation of the ball stud (24). The gear (30) having a gear body (130) situated at least partially inside the housing (26) and having splines (146) for engaging the stud teeth (120) to rotate the ball stud (24) during rotation of the gear (30). Recessed inward relative to a gear body outer surface (133) is a clutch tab (138, 148) that extends from a recessed side wall (147, 160) to form a side hinge. A stop wall (140, 157) on the clutch tab (138, 148) is engageable with the stud teeth (120) when rotating the gear body (130) in a first direction or second direction and disengageable from the stud teeth (120) when rotating the gear body (130) in the other of the first direction or second direction.
