Hey guys, sorry for delay. Just finished loading my baby on the truck. So, these bars in the Ebay ad appear to be what I have. They are called (I think) “traction bars” by Lakewood. Yes, they are replacements for the lower control arms. They help stiffen things up to minimize wheel hop. No mods to the car needed and I really don’t notice a difference in the general ride qualities with these. BTW, I would probably take $299 for mine if I were offered that!!!

Here’s mine:

Thanks for the reply Sam
The ones in the ebay add have rubber bushings at both ends, do you know if anyone made a version like that?

Thanks. I have not seen rubber at both ends - kind of defeats the purpose. But I suppose Lakewood could have made that kind of version for posers desiring a cool look but mushy ride!
