DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041707DS) - 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. Engineered around Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry, the QUADRALink is designed to deliver modern handling, excellent ride quality, precise rear axle control, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate without binding, while high-durometer rubber bushings eliminate the heim joints that can wear and create unwanted noise.
The 041707DS configuration includes DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, providing performance-focused damping without requiring external shock adjustments. Long upper links provide effective pinion and U-joint angle control, while improved anti-squat geometry helps control rear suspension behavior under acceleration. A long adjustable panhard rod provides precise lateral axle location during hard cornering and allows roll center control as ride height changes. Lower links are offset inboard for additional tire clearance, and the system can be used with Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs or stock tubs while retaining the stock rear seat.
