DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041712-SADS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Replace the original leaf spring suspension on your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit and bring modern suspension control to your second-generation F-Body. Detroit Speed's exclusive 4-link geometry is engineered to improve handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and suspension articulation. The patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings deliver quiet, durable operation without relying on heim joints.
The 041712-SADS configuration adds DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you the ability to fine-tune rebound response with an installed adjustment knob. Long suspension links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while improved anti-squat geometry helps keep the rear suspension controlled under acceleration. A long adjustable track bar precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and allows roll center adjustment at different ride heights. This configuration is supplied without axle brackets, making it the appropriate QUADRALink package for builds using a complete rear-end assembly with the necessary mounting provisions.
