  • Rear Axle: 1963 Avanti rear swaybar bushings (U-bolt mounted one) from 1993-2002 GM F-body (Camaro/Firebird)

    Today I actually worked on a Studebaker, go figure. Happens from time to time. I went out
    to finally hook up the parking brake to my Mustang rear discs (using Karl's technique until my
    prototype rear brackets are completed - this stalled back in 2007). I noticed the reason the
    handling has been a little erratic, my "temporary" fix done years ago hadn't held up :



    I parted out a 1994 Firebird Formula to put the EFI LT1 into my wifes 1978 Camaro (those who
    are considering an L$1 swap might want to rethink the cost comparison), so I had the whole
    rear swaybar assembly left over :



    This is the part you want :



    well ... ok .. actually just these two pieces :



    It looks surprisingly similar to the original one :



    The hole spacing is identical to Studebaker, just metric holes. Drill the two holes to 29/64 or
    the next size up and bolt it on :



    Done.



    Out with the old ...
