Default TRACTION BARS

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?
