Product Description:

The Spohn Performance adjustable tubular steering brace is an upgraded, stronger version of the "Wonder Bar" that was standard equipment on many of the IROC and 1LE cars. No longer available through GM, Spohn decided to design our own version of this vital piece of equipment.

This brace is designed to stiffen the front sub-frame and reinforce the steering box mount. This area is well known to be problematic on the third generation F cars. The tubular steering brace will not only provide for firmer steering response, but it will prevent the sub-frame stress cracking problem caused by the flex of the steering box. That's why the "Wonder Bar" is considered a must do upgrade on any third generation F-Body.

Constructed of 1.25" x .120" dom tubing and laser cut 3/16" mounting brackets. Spohn's laser cut mounting brackets are designed to work with OEM style front sway bar bushings with the locator tabs and bushing to frame inserts.

This adjustable version of the tubular steering brace uses a 3/4-16 right and left hand threaded double male adjuster placed in the center of the brace that threads into 4130 chrome moly TIG welded threaded tube adapters, for easy on-car pre-load adjustment.

Is this adjustment a gimmick? Honestly, a resounding no. Spohn built one of these after a serious brain storming session just to see what it would do. Spohn was quite honestly amazed at the crisp steering response it provided, so they decided to offer it as an option. What the adjustment allows you to do is place pre-loaded tension onto the front sub frames. It makes for a very tight front end!

Available powder coated bright red or gloss black.

Note: Will not fit 1982 F-Body or 1989 Turbo Trans-Am

    Def a step up in steering response

    Posted by Thomas Bolte on 18th Sep 2019

    This will change the behavior of your car, just remember not too preload it too much either way. I find that a 1/2 to 1 turn once its snug is plenty. Whether you go pressure out or pinch in is dependent on taste, at high cornering loads and bad roads I'd set it pinched in because of toe in under load on the track i would do pressure out which would be toed out under load and steering would be VERY responsive.

    Best Value!

    Of all of the suspension upgrades I've purchased from Hawks, this has to be the best upgrade for the money. I wasn't expecting very much but could immediately feel a difference in front end rigidity and steering. It made the handling noticeably better. If you buy the adjustable bar, as I did, be careful not to pre-load too much and try adjusting the pre-load slightly inward instead of pushing outward. That seems to work better for me.
