Does my 1980 have a REAR SWAY BAR?

[try2pas]

I have a 1980 and am getting interested in autocross. I see the front sway bar but I don't see a rear sway bar. Does the 1980 have a rear sway bar and if so; where is it?

"Significantly reduce unwanted body roll with larger diameter anti-sway bars. Easily bolted to your chassis, the 1963-82 sway bars can be adjusted to suit your specifications. You decide just how much reaction you want out of the bars. 1963-82 kits include the bar, two center brackets and urethane bushings, plus outer urethane link bushings, springs and hardware"

Just do a search for HD sway bar for a 1980 Corvette. I believe GM offered a FE7 but for auto X'ing you'll probably want to go stiffer yet.

You want to buy a heavy duty sway bar for auto crossing and probably a heavy duty one for the front also.

Enjoy!!

Most likely not if it's not easily seen. The ends of the bar attach to the rear of the trailing arms.

Only 25% of 1980 Corvettes had the FE7 package.

...I don't see a rear sway bar. Does the 1980 have a rear sway bar...

Yes if the car was ordered with FE7.
