Default DS safety loop

Will the Lakewood universal driveshaft safety loop fit on our cars? Seeing as its 1/3 the price of the camaro/firebird specific one, I was hoping to go with the universal one!

You should get your drive shaft safety loop as a build in function of a tunnel mounted torque arm like mine.

Universal only applies if you can "make" it work. It won't just bolt up.

Check out the Jegs loop, I only paid about $40 and it fits like a glove.
