Steering Swaybar Instructions
Tools needed:
• 1.5mm hex driver
• 2.5mm hex driver
Sway Bar Installation
1. Connect the short links to the
front sway bars with the edge
of adjustment ball 5mm from
the end of the bar. Secure
them to the bars by tightening
the setscrew with a 1.5mm hex
driver. Connect the long links
to the rear sway bar with the
edge of adjustment ball at the
end of the bar (A).
2. Install the links from the front sway bar into the hole closest to
the chassis in the front suspension arm (toward the front) (B). Set
the sway bar into the groove located on the chassis just behind
the shock tower. Thread the included 3x6mm flathead screws into
the holes (C) until they touch the bar, and then back off slightly.
Important: The sway bar must pivot freely.

3. Install the links from the rear sway bar into the hole closest to
the chassis in the rear suspension arm (toward the front) (D). Set
the sway bar into the groove located on the rear bumper mount.
Thread the included 3x6mm flat head screws into the holes (E)
until they touch the bar, and then back off slightly.

Recommended Settings and Adjustments
• The sway bar set includes two different front and rear sway bars.
The thicker of the two (black) is stiffer and will further reduce body
roll in cornering.
• Always adjust the left and right sway bar links equally to prevent
suspension tweak.
• The Adjustable hollow balls can be adjusted closer to or further
from the sway bar mount (pivot point) to change roll stiffness and
fine tune the sway bar's response for different track conditions.
Closer to the pivot point increases roll stiffness, further from the
pivot point decreases roll stiffness.
For smooth surfaces with high traction:
• Try black front and rear sway bars. Adjust linkage placement for
stiffer response (closer to pivot point on sway bar).
For rough surfaces with low traction:
• Try silver front and rear sway bars. Adjust linkage placement for
softer response (away from pivot point on sway bar).
To reduce understeer (pushing in corners):
• Try silver front sway bar. Adjust front linkage placement for softer
response (away from pivot point on sway bar).
• Try black rear sway bars. Adjust linkage placement for stiffer
response (closer to pivot point on sway bar).
To reduce oversteer (loose in corners):
• Try black front sway bars. Adjust linkage placement for stiffer
response (closer to pivot point on sway bar).
• Try silver rear sway bar. Adjust front linkage placement for softer
response (away from pivot point on sway bar).
