'67 Camaro Rear Sway Bars?

[JoeC]

The 1st gen sway bar drawing that I have seen show multi leaf spring so I thought it came out in 68.

one of the two said they only made 10 proto-type units but then discontinued them because they were no longer necessary due to the staggered shock design in '68.

Did the books really say this? It doesn’t sound right. The hi po 67s got a traction arm to reduce wheel hop. The 67 only traction arm was eliminated when the staggered shocks and multi leaf springs came out in 68 to reduce wheel hop. Staggered shocks shouldn’t affect sway bar. Sway bar is to reduce body roll. Sway bar and staggered shock designs are still used today on many rear suspensions with solid axle.
