What you're describing/seeing is what you get on the C5/Z06. It's just the threaded stud protruding with the retaining clip on the top. You're supposed to use a 10mm open end wrench and make the adjustments. You may have trouble getting the stud to turn due to corrosion and bushing tension against the spring. You may need some penetrating oil and a jack to relieve the tension.
Hopefully, no one else have ever made any adjustments to yours which usually damages the flats on the stud.
