CAMARO ZL1 1LE Factory Rear Adjustable Sway Bar

[@Stephen03S600]

great video... make sure you do not jack the car by the suspension. As Scott clearly shows, he has the jack stands on the pinch weld jack pad. I think you will find the ZL1-1LE puts down power better than the mag ride cars once everything is dialed in properly. The ZL1-1LE suspension absorbs curbings better as well.

I free mine up when my rubber is new.. then has my tire's wear down I tighten it back up. "Lose is fast". Just had 2 awesome track days at Barber,, Cat and moused a couple of GT 500s with modds? And had no problem with them. These car's kick Butt.

There may be a video coming out in a couple of days on this subject. Stay tuned. 😜

How did this softening of the rear SB work on track? Which SB do you think the SS 1LE should use?

[@RacingforALS]

After some testing, we went back to the neutral setting on the sway bar. I've heard good things about Hotchkis sway bars, but I would avoid BMR.

Hay i have the same car haw i make more soft its too jumping i need to change coilover or this suspension its have some options tanks

[@hyper1le486]

Any problems with front struts leaking ?. I believe mine are.. Just getten back from Daytona and going over my car ,and they are really oily on the bottom.

[@RacingforALS]

Not so far, but others have reported problems. There is a vent that some greasing is "normal."

Hi, did t make more drive grip? How about lateral grip? Thanks

[@RacingforALS]

Thanks, David. The answer isn't definitive, because when I tested I had old tires that were not gripping. I put on new tires, tweaked the alignment, and put the sway bar back to the middle setting. I ran a new PB at my home track and never changed it back. The car is neutral and balanced, so I haven't experimented again.

Is this basically the same procedure to change out the front sway setting? Thanks

[@RacingforALS]

The front sway bar on the Camaro ZL1 1LE is not adjustable. The front ride heigh is adjustable at the coil over shock spring perch, but is more for corner balancing. Sway bar adjustments primarily adjusts the oversteer/understeer bias of the car and this can be accomplished by changing only the rear. This can be fine tuned with alignment camber and finally front/rear tire pressure.

@@RacingforALS I apologize, say you have a hotchkis front sway in, then its basically the same procedure done in the video? but in front obviously. & congrats on the sponsor for gt world challenge

[@RacingforALS]

@@KP18793 Yes, front sway bar adjustments are similar with an aftermarket sway bar. Adjustable front end links might be required, make sure that there is no preload on the bar by removing both ends first, then they bolts should freely go into the new location without prying.

@@RacingforALS Thank you

Great video!

[@RacingforALS]

Thank you!

[@DavidWilks]

Looking at all those rubber control attachment points, do you think using spherical mounts could help?

[@RacingforALS]

The only change I recommend is adding SPL toe links with the eccentric lock out. Adding boxed control arms with poly bushings will add potential binding to the rear. The toe links just help you maintain toe alignment settings, which are prone to move around with the stock toe links.

@@RacingforALS Thanks! I'm at the dealership right now and just test drove a ZL1-1LE... #MindBlown

Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy ratchet wrenches. 🤣
