DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041733-DDS) - 1964 - 1970 Ford Mustang
Transform the rear suspension of your 1964-1970 Ford Mustang with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Designed to replace the original leaf spring suspension, DSE 041733-DDS combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry with double-adjustable DSE/JRi coilovers for improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and extensive suspension tuning. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding while using tuned high-durometer rubber bushings instead of heim joints or urethane bushings.
The 041733-DDS configuration features DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent shock adjustments and a wide adjustment range let you tailor suspension response to the driver, vehicle setup, and performance demands while retaining excellent street ride quality. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while the adjustable Panhard rod precisely locates the rear axle laterally during hard cornering and provides roll-center control as ride height changes. The system also includes 175 pounds per inch coilover springs, an upper floor pan crossmember assembly for added rear chassis rigidity, and a rear sway bar. Axle brackets are not included with this version, making it the appropriate QUADRALink configuration for complete rear-end assemblies equipped with the required mounting provisions.
