Stabilizer bar

[ssl78]

While inspecting a very original Camaro there were a few items that I didnt remember seing before. One was a rubber bushing and clamp on the stabilizer bar right next to the frame bushing mount. The other were theese motor mounts they look original but I dont see a way to get to the nut on the rear of the mount. Also could theese shocks be original. See attachment

I just recently had to raise the drivers side of the engine on my 69 Chevelle SS396 convert. I am sure they are still the original motor mounts since the car only has 20,000 miles on it. Evidently there is an integral nut in the mount, since all I had to do is remove the bolt - no nut to hold with a wrench or anything. Looks like the same situation with the mount in your picture. The bolt on mine came out the back side, and since it was the drivers side, it would be just the opposite on the passenger side. That also jives with your picture, which appears to be the passenger side.

John,
I don't know the specifics as far as plants and years but most Camaros and Nova's I have done had the clamp and bushing on the stabilizer. From what I understand, this was to keep the stabilizer centered. Not sure why they were needed since they weren't used on the Chevelles. I needed one for Earl's car and pulled one off a Nova in a junk yard. Perhaps Kurt can add more insight to this.

You also stated it was a very original car. I noticed that the pan bolts on the oil pan were unpainted so we at least know the engine has been out and likely apart. Not sure what might/could have been changed at that time.
