Default TRACTION BARS
i just went through LSD motorsports and got the JK motorsports traction bars for my 91 hatch it is installed and the jam nuts are tight on the radius arms. They make a some noise from the little bit off side to side play anyone have any suggestions on how to cut down on it

Are they adjusted properly? Is there visible play? Where is the play coming from?

Are the bolts the right size going through the rod ends? They shouldn't have play.

use anti sieze compound on the radius rod jam nuts. Heim joints are noise, that is the price you pay for eliminating wheel hop.

Because they're not. They don't float around in there just allow for "some" movement.


Did you adjust them with load on the suspension meaning not having it jacked up and tires hanging. You adjusted them while on the ground or on something, correct?
