QA1 52824 Front Sway Bar 1-3/8in for 1965-1970 Chevy B-Body

Vehicle Fitment

• 1965-1970 Chevrolet Bel Air (GM B-Body, Front, RWD)
• 1965-1970 Chevrolet Biscayne (GM B-Body, Front, RWD)
• 1966-1970 Chevrolet Caprice (GM B-Body, Front, RWD)
• 1965-1970 Chevrolet Impala/Impala SS (GM B-Body, Front, RWD)

Fitment Notes

• Front sway bar specifically designed for 1965-1970 GM B-Body vehicles equipped with QA1 tubular lower control arms.
• Works with QA1 52700 lower control arms only.
• Not designed for use with factory lower control arms; QA1 52823 is the corresponding front sway bar for factory control arms.
• All listed applications use rear-wheel drive (RWD).
• Compatible engine configurations vary by vehicle and model year; the sway bar is chassis-specific rather than engine-specific.
• Factory sway-bar mounting locations are used where applicable.
• 1965 Chevrolet Caprice is excluded because the Caprice nameplate began in 1966.
• No 2026 application is applicable because the covered GM B-Body platforms ended production before 2026.

Features

• Performance-tuned tubular front sway bar designed specifically for GM B-Body applications.
• 1-3/8-inch diameter provides increased torsional stiffness for improved chassis control.
• Hollow 4130 chromoly steel construction reduces weight while maintaining high stiffness.
• 3/16-inch tubing wall provides the specified structural rigidity.
• Engineered to reduce body roll during cornering and hard acceleration.
• Improves tire contact consistency for better cornering grip and vehicle control.
• CNC-bent tubing provides precise application-specific geometry.
• Machined and welded bar ends provide durable attachment points.
• Performance-tuned diameter and wall thickness are matched to the GM B-Body chassis.
• Gloss black powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance and a durable appearance.
• Polyurethane bushings are supplied for controlled sway-bar movement.
• Plated mounting hardware is included for installation.
• Designed for installation using factory sway-bar mounting locations where applicable.
• Made in the USA by QA1 in Lakeville, Minnesota.

Product Description

QA1 52824 is a performance-tuned front sway bar designed for 1965-1970 GM B-Body vehicles using QA1 tubular lower control arms. The 1-3/8-inch hollow sway bar is engineered to reduce body roll and improve chassis stability during cornering, acceleration, and other demanding driving conditions. It is specifically matched to the GM B-Body platform rather than being a universal sway-bar application.

The bar is manufactured from hollow 4130 chromoly steel with a 3/16-inch wall thickness, providing increased stiffness without the weight of a comparable solid bar. CNC-bent tubing and machined, welded bar ends provide precise geometry and durable construction. A gloss black powder-coated finish adds corrosion resistance, while polyurethane bushings and plated mounting hardware are supplied for installation.

QA1 52824 fits 1965-1970 Chevrolet Bel Air, Biscayne, Caprice, and Impala/Impala SS GM B-Body applications with rear-wheel drive. It is specifically intended for use with QA1 52700 lower control arms and should not be substituted for QA1 52823 when factory lower control arms are retained. The kit installs using factory sway-bar mounting locations where applicable and is intended as a direct performance suspension upgrade.
