DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041707-DDS) - 1962 - 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Transform the rear suspension of your 1962-1967 Chevrolet Chevy II with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed as a serious performance upgrade from the original leaf spring suspension, the QUADRALink uses Detroit Speed's purpose-built 4-link geometry to deliver improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings eliminate heim joints that can wear, create noise, and compromise long-term street manners.
The 041707-DDS configuration steps up to DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent adjustments and a wide adjustment range give you the ability to tailor suspension response to the driver, vehicle setup, and intended performance level while maintaining excellent ride quality on the street. Long upper links provide effective pinion and U-joint angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage the rear suspension under acceleration, and a long adjustable panhard rod precisely controls lateral axle movement during hard cornering. The system also offsets the lower links inboard for additional tire clearance and can be configured for Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs or stock tubs.
