Did any one know this

[HOSS]

Hi so I was Messing with these Sway bars I was wondering what the heck the hole was for , than I put a "Grub" screw in it and was like way cool ..
Is this what this is for?
What did you guys do?

 

[KevinC]

No, take those out. The bar is supposed to move freely in that sleeve.

cheers,
kev

pretty sure those screws allow you to set the tension on the bar reducing body roll.

I guess I'm way off then.....my apologies.....

I never bother with them cuz my kraton is a pig and weighs too much to benefit. The ends just pop out. Probably taking the bars off from now on.

No judge here amigo I was just as puzzled.. there is no instructions but me being some what mechanical inclined I figured it must be some kind of tension setting

The new exb roller file has this... looks like they are tension adjusters for the sway

The new exb roller file has this... looks like they are tension adjusters for the sway View attachment 133253

k6s has em too.

 

[Kusher]

the noto has them too I just looked but never really noticed them before now

 

[BashingBrian]

They do the exact same job as the 6s ones put a small amount of tension on the swaybar to stop it sliding from left to right..

If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me

^^^This. Yes.
Preload tension for the SB.
Need it just snug, but not tight. If too loose, the sway bar action is sloppy and ineffective.
Too tight and the SB will fight the Arms travel. Even bend the SB out of shape.
There is much info. on dialing in Sway Bars. Not mentioned in the manual or much on AF.
I find that Arrma 6s SB's are not made from the best Spring Steel to begin with. Just my observation. Having other brand kits by comparison.
Out the box, they are far from dialed in.

no no, they are there to remove the slop from the sway bar, set it until it locks the sway bar and then go back so it move freely side to side, but just so.

it's there since the bars can come in multiple widths, so you need to adjust for it.

Sounds logic

To make the SB more effective, use the HR SB braket. Being alloy, it will hold that SB tight and square to the bulkhead, keeping the SB aligned and consistently secure. The STock plastic SB bracket flexes with load. You can see this when adjusting the 2 SB grub screws. The plastic bracket pushes out. When bashing and under load, the SB will flex out of its slot under the Plastic bracket

The stock hold down is trash on the 6S line, I'm glad HR sells the bulkhead stuff separate. I think it's a must for the road cars.

They are. I'm surprised as to why everyone is wondering. The 6s has the same set up.

There is a sway bar tension adjustment video on YouTube.

So true. That's why I went ahead here and installed my HR SB bracket even though my diff covers aren't in yet. The stock bracket flexed too much to be effective. Night and day difference between the 2 parts.
