DSE Rear QuadraLink Sway Bar Kit - 1 Inch (042207DS) - 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Get more control out of your Detroit Speed QuadraLink-equipped second-gen F-Body with the Detroit Speed Rear QuadraLink Sway Bar Kit. Designed specifically for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications using the DSE QuadraLink rear suspension, part number 042207DS adds a 1-inch tubular rear sway bar that helps control body roll and gives you another way to fine-tune rear suspension response without sacrificing ride quality.
Unlike the factory-style arrangement that uses the lower control arms, the Detroit Speed design mounts the sway bar to the rear axle housing and chassis crossmember. This approach allows the chassis to stabilize the rear axle directly, helping minimize deflection under hard cornering loads. Detroit Speed Swivel-Links allow the bar to articulate freely through rear suspension travel while reducing unwanted binding.
