Camaro clip rebuild..

So, I'm about to order a rebuild kit for the suspension and steering of a Camaro clip. There are listings for 75-79 and 80-81 Camaros. I thought they were pretty much the same. Am I wrong? What is the difference?

Re: Camaro clip rebuild..

I have a bunch of these subframes, from 1970 to 1981, the only difference I see is in the 70-74 which have shorter outer tie rod ends. Otherwise, 75-81 look the same as far as the mechanicals go. The sway bars vary in size over that span which may be why they offer the 80-81 style. Typically those are a larger diameter bar.

Re: Camaro clip rebuild..

The early one has a 7/16 whole for the lower a-arm the latter one has a 1/2 hole for the lower a-arm. There may be more differences.
