DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041709-DDS) - 1962 - 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Bring modern rear suspension performance to your 1962-1967 Chevrolet Chevy II with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed to replace the original leaf spring suspension, the QUADRALink uses Detroit Speed's purpose-built 4-link geometry to improve handling, ride quality, axle control, 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 the need for heim joints that can introduce unwanted noise and wear.
The 041709-DDS configuration pairs the QUADRALink with DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent adjustments and a broad adjustment range allow suspension response to be dialed in for the driver, vehicle setup, and intended performance level while maintaining excellent street ride quality. Long upper links provide precise pinion and U-joint angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage rear suspension behavior under acceleration, and a long adjustable panhard rod provides effective lateral axle control during hard cornering. This version is supplied without axle brackets and is intended for applications using a complete rear-end assembly.
