Re: lakewood traction bar?

is this a bar about 4' long? if so its the panhard bar, not a traction bar of any kind. Its used to locate the axle side to side in the car.

Are you sure you ordered "traction bars"?

Not like the 3 pictured above, no. I've seen some that act basically like the relocation brackets do, but don't remember where & they may not have even been for F-bodies.

Re: lakewood traction bar?

My first set lasted about a year and a half before they broke. The metal snapped clean in 3 places. We will see how long this set lasts.
