Typhon sway bar mounts

[rchelipiloteer]

Hello i need to get a couple of these (2)

I have noticed there are aluminum ones on ebay from PH and HR and they look to have setscrews for the sway bar. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the sway bar as the stock plastic units allow the bar to slide a little side-By-side. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks

You're not supposed to torque down the grub screws, you want to tighten them enough to remove any play but still allow it to move freely.

interesting design that makes me wonder why, thanks cheers

Exactly what Gotnitro has said. Just keeps the bar in place. I have the same design on a few cars.

The stock sway bar ends also have a tiny 1.5mm set screw in one end to hold the sway bar in place

It's for the slightest adjustments to the sway bar. Most likely for fine tuning during pro racing.

The set screws purpose is to remove the play as the mount supports various widths of sway bars. you install the sway bar you want and use the screws to remove the play until it only moves side to side and not front/back

i don't see a reason to lock down the bar when all I'm doing is backyard ramp and dirt hill bashing, thanks everyone and cheers!

You don’t lock it up racing either

is there an advantage to locking it up for a road typhon?

No. If you lock it up you are essentially locking up the suspension. Wouldn’t happen for too long before you strip out the grub or eat away at the bar.
