DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041712-DDS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Transform the rear suspension of your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed to replace the original leaf spring suspension with a performance-focused 4-link system, the QUADRALink delivers improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide quiet, durable operation without the noise and wear associated with heim joints.
The 041712-DDS configuration pairs the QUADRALink with DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable coilover shocks featuring Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent shock adjustments and a broad tuning range allow suspension response to be tailored to the driver, vehicle setup, and performance demands while maintaining excellent street ride quality. Long upper links provide effective pinion and U-joint 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. This version is supplied without axle brackets and is intended for builds using a complete rear-end assembly with the appropriate QUADRALink mounting provisions.
