CorteX Rear Vertical Link Kit (VL-50-1000) - 2015-2026 Ford Mustang GT, EcoBoost, V6, Mach 1, GT350 & Bullitt
Improve rear suspension response and reduce unwanted deflection with the CorteX Racing Rear Vertical Link Kit. Designed for 2015-2026 Mustang applications excluding GT500 and Dark Horse models, these billet vertical links replace the compliant factory bushings with spherical bearings for a more direct and predictable suspension connection.
Factory vertical link bushings can deflect significantly under acceleration, braking, and cornering loads. That movement can reduce available grip, delay suspension response, and contribute to wheel hop. The CorteX vertical links are designed to eliminate that unwanted compliance while maintaining near-zero impact to noise, vibration, and harshness, making them a strong choice for both street and track applications.

Eliminate Suspension Deflection
The factory vertical links use soft rubber bushings that can flex substantially under load. This deflection allows the rear suspension geometry to move instead of transferring lateral and longitudinal forces directly through the suspension and into the tires.
By replacing the factory bushings with spherical bearings, the CorteX vertical links reduce this movement and provide a more precise connection between the suspension and chassis. The result is improved response, more consistent traction, and reduced wheel hop during aggressive driving.
Billet Construction
CorteX manufactures these vertical links in the USA from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and finishes them with a durable anodized coating. Each kit also includes stainless steel reducer spacers and Grade 10 zinc-coated hardware for a complete installation.
Street & Track Performance
The spherical-bearing design improves suspension precision without creating a major increase in NVH. This makes the kit suitable for daily-driven performance Mustangs, weekend track cars, and dedicated competition builds alike.
