DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041712DS) - 1970 - 1981 Chevrolet Camaro
Upgrade your 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro 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 modern handling, precise rear axle control, excellent ride quality, and smooth suspension articulation. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide smooth, quiet operation without the wear and noise associated with heim joints.
The 041712DS configuration includes DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, providing performance-focused damping without requiring external shock adjustments. Long suspension links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while improved anti-squat geometry helps manage rear suspension movement under acceleration. A long adjustable track bar precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll center control at different ride heights. This version is supplied without axle brackets, making it the appropriate QUADRALink configuration for builds using a complete rear-end assembly with the necessary mounting provisions.
