Re: Is this legal?
i have built a couple of sway bars for customers and made sure they where bolt in,,it should be good but if your welding in supports on the frame like in the "chevy artical" i wouldn't think it would fly gmonde

Re: Is this legal?
You need to go back and look at the pictures again - the part that welds in under the floor is designed the reinforce the frame under the rear roll bar braces. The anti-roll bar bolts to those braces. A technicallty? Maybe but acceptable yep. The part has been around for years and is under several national & division winning Camaros & Firebirds including a recent world champs car. It's been looked at by tech guys in several of the divisions - never a problem.

Re: Is this legal?
Why do my 2 stock street Camaros have both a panhard bar and a sway bar on the rear if both do the same thing?

Re: Is this legal?
It doesn't. It has a Panhard or sway bar and that bar connecting the two lower control arms is an anti-roll bar.

Re: Is this legal?
I'm confused with your answers....if sway bar = panhard bar, why does my cars have both? These are mid 80's Camaros. They have a bar that connects the body to the rearend housing...panhard. They do not have a bar that connects the lower contol arms. They have a bar that connects to the body and the rear end. Is that an anti-roll bar? If so, why is it not legal to replace it with the aftermarket anti-roll bar?

Re: Is this legal?
As I said, the bar that bolts between the F body lower control arms is an anti roll bar. The bar running from the driver's side end of the rear end housing to the bracket on the frame, passenger side, prevents side-to-side sway. Some people tend to cal the anti roll bar a sway bar also. That is not accurate, but you go ahead and call it what you want.
