DSE Front Chassis Brace Kit (034001DS) - 1978-1988 GM G-Body
Strengthen the front structure of your GM G-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Chassis Brace Kit. Designed for 1978-1988 GM G-Body applications, part number 034001DS was developed through Detroit Speed testing to improve on the original chassis brace design. By triangulating the front crossmember and frame rail, these braces help reduce deflection through the front section of the chassis, creating a more rigid foundation for the suspension and steering to work from.
Detroit Speed constructs the left- and right-hand braces from stout 1-1/8-inch outside diameter DOM tubing with a 0.120-inch wall. The kit provides a direct way to reinforce a known area of chassis movement without requiring an elaborate chassis overhaul, making it a smart addition to street, Pro-Touring, autocross, and performance-oriented G-Body builds. All necessary mounting hardware is included for installation.
