DSE Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System - Base Shocks (032051DS) - 1964-1970 Ford Mustang - GM 5x4.75 in. Bolt Pattern
Bring modern suspension geometry, steering response, and road manners to your classic Mustang with the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System 032051DS. Designed for 1964-1970 Ford Mustangs, this complete all-aluminum front suspension system combines a lightweight cast aluminum cradle with Detroit Speed's performance-focused geometry and 6 inches of suspension travel. The system integrates tubular control arms, coilover suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, and a splined anti-roll bar into a package engineered for serious street and track performance while retaining the factory frame rails and inner fenders.
Part number 032051DS is the GM 5 x 4.75-inch bolt-pattern configuration equipped with Detroit Speed/JRi non-adjustable aluminum coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. The fixed-valve base shocks provide the dynamic response of Detroit Speed's performance shock platform without requiring external damping adjustments, making this version an excellent choice for builders who want a carefully engineered suspension package without the additional setup requirements of adjustable shocks. Speed-LIGN caster/camber adjusters provide quick, precise alignment changes without additional shims, while the integrated steering and anti-roll bar systems help deliver a cohesive, responsive front-end package.
