If you have a rear wheel drive vehicle then chances are you have felt the effects of wheel hop as you accelerate hard off the line. Wheel hop is caused by the axles winding up as the tires dig into the ground for traction. Aftermarket Chevrolet Sonic traction bars are one of the most effective ways to combat wheel hop issues. Simple to install, these suspension components firmly locate the axle to ensure that the only thing spinning are your wheels on the ground. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have a great selection of Chevrolet Sonic traction bars for you to choose from. With fantastic offerings from all of the top manufacturers you are sure to find the perfect traction bars for your needs in our extensive lineup.

Traction bars have been used in drag racing for many years. The high-torque drag motors put rear ends under tremendous strain and cause them to move and squirm unless they are properly located. Traction bars are used as a forward axle support to prevent axle wrap and keep the wheels planted firmly on the ground. Traction bars are also useful for trucks running big wheels and low gears. In off-road situations axle hop can be a killer, so if you want to improve traction on the pavement and the dirt, Chevrolet Sonic traction bars are the way to go.

Q: What is a traction bar? Why buy one?
A: Traction bars are yet another automotive component named for what they do, which is to help your vehicle gain traction by preventing wheel spin and unnecessary suspension movement. Traction bars were originally designed for rear wheel drive vehicles with solid rear axles, and acted as an extra link to prevent the axle from twisting which could cause wheel hop and reduce traction. Now however there are a host of traction bars available for every application from front wheel drive imports to rear wheel drive muscle cars. If you are a drag racer, road racer, or just enjoy driving fast, a good traction bar setup is a must. Without traction bars you will lose precious seconds spinning your wheels, but with a good traction bar setup installed you will hook up quick and have the ultimate in car control.
