They are bars which mount on the rear axle, under the leaf springs of a rwd car or truck. As you accelerate the torque will cause the axle rotate up at the front. The traction bar has a bump stop at the the front that when this happens contacts the front mount of the leaf spring. This contact causes the wheels to be driven into the pavement(more taction).
