Just ask Robert Pond if an anti-roll bar is considered a traction device. From what I have been told he had to move his from inside the trunk to under the car. At that time NHRA ruled it as a traction device and said he could continue using it as long as it was bolted in. I do believe the brackets can be welded to the rearend housing but thats all.

I went to a lot of trouble back in the day to put an anti-roll bar in my car and make it 100% bolt in. Worked like a champ but definitely would have been easier to weld it in.

If the "weld on" style are legal, I'll be changing mine over. I have some issues with my bolt on system, some welding would correct these problems.

Here's one that is 100% bolt on and used by several Stockers and even some 9"tire SS. It works!

Sway bar = panhard bar. Locates the rear end side-to-side. Anti-roll bars control body roll. Two separate components. Body roll & side-to-side sway are two different things.
At least that's according to GM shop manuals.

And still... no one can post where the rule book states that you CAN'T weld in an anti-roll bar......

i'm not looking for an argument but, i guess i'll have to disagree with gm on that one . how in the world a (sway bar = a panhard rod) is beyond me. i guess a camaro with a front sway locates the front end? LOL. in my opinion a sway bar and a anti roll bar are the exact same thing. they both control body roll. i guess technically it should be called an anti-swaybar

Mark, sway is side-to-side. A panhard bar locates/centers the rear end under the car side-to-side, but will not control body roll.
That front bar is anti-roll also.
