DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041709DS) - 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 performance-focused 4-link geometry, the QUADRALink delivers 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 provide durable, quiet operation without relying on heim joints.
The 041709DS configuration includes DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you performance-oriented damping without the need for external shock adjustments. 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 precisely controls lateral axle movement during hard cornering. Lower links are offset inboard to provide additional tire clearance, and the system is designed to work with Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs or stock tubs while retaining the stock rear seat. This version is supplied without axle brackets, making it the appropriate QUADRALink configuration when using a complete rear-end assembly with the necessary mounting provisions.
