Help! Adjusting Whammy Bar Laxity on JP/Majesty?

Hey guys, quick question: is it possible to adjust how tightly the whammy bar fits into the bridge?

On my JP13 the bar is super tight; like to the point where it changes pitch if I'm moving it from down by the knobs up into position.

On my JPXI, it's so loose that it literally swings around as I play and when I do the JP flutter, the bar kinda bangs around in the hole.

On my Majesty, it's just right; it's not super tight, but it's not super loose...

So - is it possible to adjust or are these just the way these various guitars' whammy bars are designed?

Thanks for your input/advice/help!
 
If you dive the trem you'll see a screw on the trem block near the bar. Tight or loose it with an allen key.
