Rear Traction Bar
 

I have a 1967 SS Camaro with the square traction bar. Does any one know where I can find replacement bushings for the bar?
Thanks

RE: Rear Traction Bar
 

what bushing are you looking for? there are no bushings, unless you are talking about the rubber snub at the front of the bar

He's not talking about aftermarket traction bars: 1967 Camaro Radius Rod
A few months into 1967 production, GM came out with a traction bar (GM calls it a radius rod) to help alleviate wheel hop issues. There were two types, a round bar and square bar, and were used in hi-perf. models such as the Z/28, SS350, 327/4 bbl., & L78 396. It was a 1967 model deal only.
I haven't seen bushings separately. Have you tried comparing leaf spring bushings to see if they can be retro-fit?

aahhhhh...I see

nope, can't help on that one

Camaro 69,
Thanks for your response. I did check the leaf spring bushings but they won't fit.
I ended up having after market bushing made at a Fab shop.

RE: Rear Traction Bar
 

are they poly or rubber bushings?

some hardware shops sell a ridiculous number of bushings and fittings. for my rear shocks I found a set-screw chrome spacer at theisens [&:]

I thought I would re-surface this thread. Has anybody come up with replacement bushings for the radius rods? I have the round radius rod for my 67 SS 350 and need new bushings for it.

Thanks....

Thanks, Camaro 69 you are correct it is the Radius Rod that I do not have. I am wondering if finding an aftermarket radius rod will do the trick or if I should look into something else. It looks like I will need to have something welded to the axle but I am open to suggestions. Just wondering what others have done in this situation.

I am building a daily driver but want to be able to eliminate the wheel hop or what I call one wheel wonder when getting up to posted speed limit from a stop sign.
