At least that's according to GM shop manuals.

I'm confused with your answers....if sway bar = panhard bar, why does my cars have both? These are mid 80's Camaros. They have a bar that connects the body to the rearend housing...panhard. They do not have a bar that connects the lower contol arms. They have a bar that connects to the body and the rear end. Is that an anti-roll bar? If so, why is it not legal to replace it with the aftermarket anti-roll bar?
