Fine-Tuning Your Chassis At The Track

Sway Bar Adjustment

When you’re coming through a turn and start to accelerate and your car starts to spin the rear wheels without lifting the pedal, what can you do? The sway bar can be the answer to your problem. Increasing the sway-bar tension will add bite to the left rear tire, reducing the tire spin. Also, if the race car is rolling or leaning in the turns, an increase in tension will help. Having too much tension will also create a problem; this will make your race car push off the corners. The trick is to have enough sway-bar tension to stop wheel spin without creating push.
