SPEED TECH rear torque arm and rear sway bar

[Build-It-Break-it]

I was wondering if anyone has installed a rear sway bar with their rear torque arm suspension?

I was looking to install a 3 piece splined sway bar set up (from Ron Sutton).

Is packaging to tight in the rear to get the right/ideal arm lengths?

My car is a 68 camaro with a floater rear end if that makes a difference.

Thanks all for any input

I'm working on it now and also have a floater rear. I'm also changing out the panhard for Rons revised version with the sway bar attached. I have the parts now and hopefully in a week or 2 I'll start on it after I complete my front end changes. Once I do I'll post details up in my build thread

My Nova had one (prototype) tubular bar mounted below the rear end.
I do have some weld on brackets for the end links. I have looked and don't have any pictures unfortunately
it can be done if your interested the housing will need some brackets welded to it to mount the pivot bushings also

Thank you Gerno for the reply, it's exactly what I was looking for. Pictures would be great if possible. I just want to do all my welding/planning before my under coating.


Thank you Blake. Where the arms for the sway bar rear facing? Just trying to picture the packaging for it. I've looked but there seems to be limited room.

Thank you all again

no they mount forward along side of the trailing arms. I am working on rear end brackets now they will be weld on. there are some weld/bolt in brackets that attach to the frame rail and that is what the end link mounts on.

Blake, you guys are going to be coming out with a rear sway bar kit? Splined? If so I'll just wait for your kit.

We just got my Speedway rear bar on Friday and is being installed this week in my torque arm'd setup. Should have pics soon. Also a Sutton spec'd deal.

I think we are going to do the tubular bar and let Ron do the splined bar. ours will allow full exhaust over the axle where his wont. there will be no performance difference mostly packaging. for the street driving guy the tubular bar will likely be a better option.
