I got the non adjustable one for my 87 Camaro Sport Coupe, and I noticed a difference immediately. the steering was more responsive, and the chassis felt stiffer. Great upgrade

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very good to know. Thank you

[@nicholaskoenig3106]

Great video! I didnt know these wonder-bars even existed!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you and ya qlot of people don't know about them until they realize they have an issue with the frame. Glad you enjoyed

[@letmelicu1277]

This is a good Video But I Would have changed the Bushings on the Sway bar and the sway bar end links to get BETTER Results

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I didn't do that bc I was upgrading the sway bar and bushings and everything next. I have another video of the upgraded sway bar and bushings and end links

[@tylersteez]

I just got the 383 running in my 86 trans am and I was watching the steering box while my brother turned the wheel and that whole section was moving up and down while the wheels were turning. I haven’t looked for cracks yet but I’m expecting the worst. Definitely gonna be putting a wonderbar in

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Tyler Steez ya check for cracks underneath the steering box, along steering shaft and the check all the hardware for the steering box as well

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. I hope it works as good as it looks. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Scott Pearson TOOLS &MORE thank you I hope so as well lol. See you soon

[@DerrickRG]

I went with the TDS bar. Regardless of brand, they're a must have.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

For sure 👍

[@quayl1337]

Pair this upgrade up with poly bushings for endlinks and a 1 1/4” sway bar, poly tubular control arms, and a strut tower brace. So damn stiff in the corners it’s insane. I want to get the tubular front end kit that cleetus has for toast. And a tubular k member. I can’t wait lol

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya I've already upgraded the sway bar and endlinks I eventually want to do the k member as well. I'm also upgrading the caster camber plates

[@MotorScotti]

Great video! Wonderbar for sure, but I do prefer the TopDownSolutions Wonderbar, because it's bolted on through three bolts per side, compared to the Spohn version. The fitting is excellent on the TDS version, too without adjusting anything.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya I almost went with that one but spohn gave me a nice discount on this one and I liked the adjustment. Otherwise I would have went with TDS. Thank you

[@dylanr13]

I actually got one of these because of your video the front-end dose feel stiffer.

[@xattiyuh5874]

Awesome. Thank you!

Alex Reinoso thank you!

[@joshlara8237]

Bolted my in was ok got it welded in n no more cracking sound at stop lights

[@jackwagon9411]

I'm working on getting my first third gen and just stumbled upon this whole researching the differences between a z28 and a iroc z. Seems they need a few things here and there. But they have alot of aftermarket support to help them perform

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya It just a combination of small changes depending on years and package but ya the amount of aftermarket parts for these cars are plentiful. You can do alot to them

[@DYLANTRIES]

Great video, well filmed and put together, only complaint was the little bit of redundancy but I have the same issue in my videos

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks and ya I fight myself from doing that

[@dylanr13]

Nice.

[@Airmarty23]

Appreciate this video

[@TonyTheTechnician]

No problem. Thanks for watching

[@RonSavage01]

Great video! I think I'm gonna tackle this tomorrow!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you!!

[@RonSavage01]

@@TonyTheTechnician do the sway bar bushings snap over the sway bar? Or do you have to take the bar all the way off and slide them on from the ends of the bar? Or does that depend on which ones you get?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@RonSavage01 they have a slit in them so you can open them up and snap them over

[@RonSavage01]

@@TonyTheTechnician polyurethane? Geese fittings? What brand did you use or where did you get them?

[@DOYLECLEVERLOBE1]

The only thing with this is it's one of those things you really need to do a/b testing with to tell the difference, to bad she's not on the road yet. But hey I understand it's one step closer to getting her where you want.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

DOYLECLEVERLOBE1 ya once I get it running it will still be a lot of work getting her tuned in and all the suspension aligned and adjusted and checking all fluid lines and wires since everything is different now

[@joshmeselfhighup1603]

I got my welded on to my camaro

[@TheRealKarsch]

Hey Tony great video, was wondering what undercoat you used?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you. It was just the standard undercoating spray you find in spray cans at the auto parts store. But I takes alot and you will have to have it on a lift. I did mine on a jack stands and it was a pain and I still missed alot. I'm going to do it all over again after I get it running

[@stricklandgarageaviation2864]

good video

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you

[@ericvonhellens8822]

Good video and sound was fine. When you are adjusting the bar, are you pulling it in or pushing it out? Thanks.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I was adjusting it out. Thank you

[@chucklucas5326]

@@TonyTheTechnician Thanks for the video. I have an 87 GTA that is making a noise underneath the frontend, I replaced the bump stops that I bought from Hawks Motor Sports, but noise is still there. So, I ordered a UMI wonder bar that just came in today. It's not adjustable though. Can't wait to install it and see if that noise goes away. I've already replaced the tie rods and center drag link. Hoping nothing is broken around my steering box, I've been dogging the shit out of it for over 20 years. It's definitely been driven hard, especially since I put a T-56 in it.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Nice I hope you figure it out ya hopefully its not the steering box but I think you would feel that steering. Any loose sway bar bushing or links?

[@kevinlong7515]

Thanks for the video. I just bought a lowered 3rd gen and im having trouble jacking it. My low profile jack fits under the cross member at the center but nowhere to pump the handle, I have read not to jack at the subframe so where else can i jack this car at?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

If you have to jack the sub frame then it is fine. If you wanted you could jack the sub frame up enough to get under the crossmember better and Jack it from there. If you have two Jack's or something to hold the car up. You can also jack up the rear end but obviously your trying to lift the front. So all you really have is the crossmember and the sub frame. The sub frame is fine as long as your not using a small head jack or a bottle jack which obviously you can't fit under your car. So ya that's you best bet

[@kevinlong7515]

@@TonyTheTechnician Thank you!

[@FamilyChannelfun32]

Never even stated what it did for you. Or what it does. Lol. Love the video. No link where to buy it?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks. I did state what it did for the car lol. Here is the link. Like I said it's the spohn adjustable wonder bar. www.spohn.net/shop/1982-1992-GM-F-Body/Chassis/Tubular-Steering-Brace-Wonder-Bar/Tubular-Steering-Brace-Wonder-Bar-Pre-Load-Adjustable.html

[@FamilyChannelfun32]

I guess I didn't listen well 😁

[@shanechostetler9997]

I wonder why they slotted the mounting bolt holes being that there is a center adjustment on the bar?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

That's a good question. The only thing I can think of and I'm just guessing is so it's easier to install and when tightened down and spread the side of the hole doesn't put alot of pressure on the threads of the bolt. The pressure would be more in the head and the mounting plate

[@yoda2000675]

Do you think it's also necessary to install Subframe Connectors on a gen 3 camaro? I've heard some people claim that you almost need to, but that might only be if you have an upgraded engine installed.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya if you are stock it's not much of an issue but when you start making power or you are racing or doing road courses. It's definitely something to consider.

[@wheelstandr]

I bought one of these in 2012 for my 91 Z28, but as I went to put it on, I saw there was one from the factory. I elected not to put it on, but was wondering if anybody knows if this is still an advantage over the stock one or just placebo effect.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

If you are doing any sort of racing with yours it may be worth upgrading. Especially if you make decent power. But if your stock or close to it and just drive it regularly then you are fine with what you have

[@wheelstandr]

@@TonyTheTechnician Thanks Tony. The only racing I do is an occasional drag race. I guess I’ll continue to store my wonder bar unless I sell it.

[@benkalinowski5834]

If you can run 245 50 16 tires stock What can I run on the front widest With it I have one in installing this weekend

[@markwilson9063]

Pretty sure the Firehawk package came with 17" 275's. You can still buy the rims aftermarket on hawksmotorsports.

[@k.i.t.tthebuild1243]

Will this be the same for the 3rd Gen Firebirds?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Yes indeed

[@dzroc]

Hey bud, I have an 82 berlinetta. Rats got into it ate all the wirring and destroyed it. Any tips on rewiring it all? Turn signals, head lights, running lights ect..

[@TonyTheTechnician]

dzroc hey thanks for watching. Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear that. If they got in it that bad I would say junkyard but it would be a lot of work to pull all the wiring you need out. So I would check the third Gen sites for a new or used wiring harness for the lights and everything.

[@dzroc]

@@TonyTheTechnician hey Tony thanks for the reply. Yea pretty much every piece of wire is toast. Car isnt worth anything just sentimental. So I can get wirring for the lights and wipers separately

[@TonyTheTechnician]

dzroc ya some of the sites sell different sections of the wiring harness

[@92camarodragcar73]

What sway bar I removed the sway so the front tire will not force the car to one side

[@TonyTheTechnician]

92 camaro Drag car you removed your sway bar?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

92 camaro Drag car I have heard people doing this but since mine will also be driven on the street. I like the reliability of having the sway bar

[@92camarodragcar73]

It go to have a anti roll bar in the back

[@sikanderdhillon4326]

Do you have to take the tires off when installing the Wonder bar ??

[@TonyTheTechnician]

You can. It's just easier with the tires off and vehicle up to relieve some load from the sway bar 👍

[@milesmania1150]
