DSE Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System - Single Adjustable Shocks (032051-SDS) - 1964-1970 Ford Mustang - GM 5x4.75 in. Bolt Pattern
Give your classic Mustang the precision and response of a modern performance suspension with the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System 032051-SDS. Engineered for 1964-1970 Ford Mustangs, this all-aluminum front suspension system combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused geometry with 6 inches of suspension travel, a lightweight cast aluminum cradle, tubular control arms, power rack-and-pinion steering, and an integrated splined anti-roll bar. The complete system is designed to sharpen steering response, improve handling, and deliver controlled ride quality for serious street and track builds while retaining the factory frame rails and inner fenders.
Part number 032051-SDS is the GM 5 x 4.75-inch bolt-pattern configuration and includes Detroit Speed/JRi single-adjustable aluminum coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. These shocks build on the base shock package by adding rebound adjustment through an easy-to-use adjustment knob, giving you the ability to fine-tune suspension response for your driving style and vehicle setup. Speed-LIGN caster/camber adjusters allow precise alignment changes without additional shims, while the integrated steering, anti-roll bar, forged spindle, and control arm components work together as a complete performance suspension system.
