DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041709-SDS) - 1962 - 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Upgrade your 1962-1967 Chevrolet Chevy II from its original leaf spring suspension with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Engineered around Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry, the QUADRALink is designed to deliver improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to move freely without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings eliminate heim joints that can wear and introduce unwanted noise.
The 041709-SDS configuration combines the QUADRALink system with DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. An installed rebound adjustment lets you fine-tune shock response with the simple turn of a knob while maintaining excellent street ride quality. Long upper links provide effective pinion angle control, improved anti-squat geometry helps manage rear suspension movement under acceleration, and the long adjustable panhard rod provides precise lateral axle control during hard cornering. This version does not include axle brackets and is intended for applications using a complete rear-end assembly with the appropriate QUADRALink mounting provisions.
