If you are talking about the "Bar" across the tranny on the rear, It is not a sway bar. Its a aux. overload bar. In '67 The rear axles were longer and the rear torsion bars were not strong enough to hold up a full load in the rear of the car so VW added this bar to help out. The early '68's carried this bar until they finely installed stronger torsion bars in the middle of the year.Those things were a pain in the arse because all they did was rattle and bang because the bushings would come apart in about a year and at that time VW could not supply enough parts to fix them. When I was at the dealer they told us just to take them off. Now would be a great time to take yours off. They are worthless .
    Lonnie, Do not be afraid to ask any kind of question. Some one here will help you out without leading you down "The Garden Path".
    Where do you hang your hat ?

Indeed you can
