DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Remote-Reservoir Double-Adjustable Shocks (041707-RDS) - 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 to replace the limitations of the original leaf spring suspension, the QUADRALink uses Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry to deliver improved handling, axle control, ride quality, and suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to move smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide quiet, durable operation without relying on heim joints.
The 041707-RDS configuration takes the system to the next level with DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable remote-reservoir coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. The remote-canister design incorporates a gas-charged bladder for high-frequency and low-speed damping control, providing serious tuning capability for demanding street and performance applications. Billet aluminum mounts securely position the remote shock canisters on the vehicle. Long upper links provide precise pinion and U-joint angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps control rear suspension movement under acceleration, and the long adjustable panhard rod provides effective lateral axle location during hard cornering.
