H&R ARBs Adjustable fitting?
JPC:
I'm still thinking the inner hole will make things tighter. :s
gazbutS3:
thatst the way I saw it, the outer hole gives a larger lever so can bend the bar so give some roll, inner hole less leverage can't bend the bar so less roll :smiley:
could be wrong but I did ask quite a few people, one with vast racing experience :wink:, and was told by everyone the outer hole is softest setting
jabbalad:
the further out the hole is the less of an effect the arb has!
So like others have said the inner hole is the stiffer setting!
(i could be wrong but that would mean all the setup work on race cars and running my own race cars for the last god knows how many years has been completely wrong!) :happy2:
gazbutS3:
BUMP,
I'd like to know the outcome of this discussion :smiley:, so we know if we have our ARB's set where we think we have them :happy2:

Think about the length of lever needed to undo f-ing tight wheel bolts. With a short 12" bar, you probably won't be able to undo them - but with a 30" breaker bar, they will be easy.

that to me backs up what myself and everyone else have said by using the inner hole, you have less 'leverage' from the bolt to the centre line so it will roll less as its harder to bend.
If you use theouter hole the 'lever' is longer so it would 'bend so to speak' easier and thus roll more.

Anti-roll bars work on counteracting torque reaction. IE, they are 'reactive' rather than 'proactive' - so you need to reverse your logic. If you have 'less leverage', then you simply have a less efficient, therefore less hard anti-roll bar.

I can't scan my Whiteline docs (dead desktop puter), but they clearly state that the OUTER holes are for the hardest (ie stiffest) setting.
