Default Re: 1967-69 Camaro Rear Sway Bars

Craig,

Thanks for taking the photos. The mounting location to the frame rail makes sense to me now. The aftermarket sway bars that I have seen all mount in the same frame rail location. Seeing the photos has convinced me that my sway bar was aftermarket.

Much appreciated.

-Dave

The brackets in the center at the top are the axle attachment brackets.

After studying the mounting points I do not believe they would interfere with a staggered shock arrangement the axle brackets install between the top perch and the spring, sandwiched in between with the pilot stud used to locate the bracket.

That sway bar equipment photo comes from the CRG Forum and was provided to me by Frank Dihartce. It was items that he personally owned. Please give proper credit when posting from other people and other websites. Thanks.

As I recall the 67 single leaf springs only have the "pilot stud" on the bottom of the spring not the top. Thus this bracket must go under the leaf spring.

Try to figure out how they would insert under the spring with any of the linkage having a remote chance of attaching.
They install over the spring to the front of the vehicle. The illustration which was with the kit is on the CRG.
