DSE Heavy Duty Front Sway Bar Bracket (031418DS) - 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Replace a known weak point in your fourth-gen F-Body front suspension with the Detroit Speed Heavy Duty Front Sway Bar Bracket Kit, part number 031418DS. Designed for 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, these heavy-duty brackets replace the stamped factory sway bar brackets that are prone to failure. Detroit Speed reinforces the frame-rail mounting flange with a purpose-built bracket design, creating a stronger and more durable mounting solution for the front sway bar.
The 031418DS kit is engineered as a 100% bolt-on upgrade and works with factory sway bars, making it a smart reinforcement whether your F-Body is stock, modified, or being prepared for more aggressive handling. The brackets feature a durable black powder-coated finish and high-strength nuts designed to resist thread stripping and pullout. Their design also allows shaft collars to be used for positive sway bar location without modifying the brackets. Detroit Speed includes two heavy-duty bracket assemblies and the required mounting hardware for installation.
