The 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (F-body) use a unibody chassis with a known weak, flexible steering box area. The QA1 steering brace, also called the Wonder Bar, is a tubular component that bolts directly above the front sway bar and ties the front subframes together. Stiffening the front section sharpens steering response and improves cornering and overall handling. It installs cleanly between the sway bar and frame rails for a factory appearance without reducing ground clearance. 1982-1984 cars may need to slot the existing mounting holes. QA1 suspension is made in Lakeville, Minnesota.
