DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041707-SDS) - 1962 - 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Replace the original leaf spring suspension on your 1962-1967 Chevrolet Chevy II with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Built around Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry, the QUADRALink is engineered to deliver improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate without binding, while high-durometer rubber bushings eliminate heim joints that can wear and create unwanted noise.
The 041707-SDS configuration adds DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. External rebound adjustment lets you fine-tune shock response with the turn of a knob while retaining excellent street ride quality. Long upper links provide effective pinion angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage rear suspension movement under acceleration, and a long adjustable panhard rod provides precise lateral axle control during hard cornering. Lower links are offset inboard for additional tire clearance, while the system is designed to work with either Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs or stock tubs and still allows use of the stock rear seat.
