First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Thanks for the clarification Brett. I'd always heard 400 cars, but not "performance combination" cars. Makes perfect sense though.
i believe the ones i ordered were the "right side traction rod", for both sides. The hardest part is getting the old sleeve out, but after that, they fit with a little help from a C clamp or vice.

Not to contradict, but to elaborate, any of the 67's with a more performance oriented motor and a manual tranny typically had both Radius Rods installed from the factory. This included the 400's (AT & Manual) the 326 H.O. with a manual tranny (possibly with the AT as well?) and even the Sprint-6 with a 3 or 4 speed manual. (My 67 Sprint-6 3-speed had them both, it was also Mayfair Maize KJ) Pontiac knew from the get-go that the rear mono-leaf springs would flex & bind under torque causing excessive wheel hop etc. and designed these to help the issue. In 68 they went to multi-leaf rear springs, while the Camaro played catch up and didn't get this under control until late 68 into the 69 production year. I would imagine that the PST Bushings, while designed after the Camaro set would be close enough and should work? Let us know... Brett - 67 Drop Top 455! Seattle Subject: Re: [FGF] Fwd: 1967 traction bar bushings From: "KJ" <[email protected]> Richard, I cannot speak for Camaros, but only the 400 Firebirds had both side traction bars. My originally 326 car had only the right side. It now has the left hand side from a donor car and the PST bushings fit both just fine.
