Factory traction bar on 69' camaro - Lateral-g Forums

hey guys; I bought an addco rear sway bar and didn't realize that I had a factory traction bar. It's obviously something that would be in the way of a rear sway bar.

Is this something you can just cut off? Has anybody else done this and hacked it off? I was concerned about warping the 12-bolt.

I know 67s had a factory traction barthat was an option. I've not heard of a 68 or 69 with one.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, don't go cutting yet! If that is a real 67 rear is is worth some money.

I cannot tell in the picks, is it a mono leaf pad? If so you need to check the code on the front of the passenger side axle tube half way between the center section and leaf spring. It will be some stamped letters and numbers. Get those and lets decode it before you ruin it. Depending on what it is, a restoration guy may pay good money for it and you get a brand new Moser!

hey guys; the car is a 69' camaro; i guess it is not the original rear end.

I will have to get it decoded.

hey guys I got the code from the rear

it looks like its a 1967 12-bolt - 3.55 gears; posi (which it still has I can tell).

from May 22nd...if I'm decoding right.

how much ballpark range do you guys think its worth? I was pissed I couldn't hookup that sway bar haha.

That is definitely a mono-leaf housing from a '67 with traction bar mount. Like Frank said, if you could find the right guy you could probably get a new Moser or Strange rear for close to what it's worth. here's a link to just about everything you ever wanted to know about this rearend:
