DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Remote-Reservoir Double-Adjustable Shocks (041733-RDS) - 1964 - 1970 Ford Mustang
Take the rear suspension of your 1964-1970 Ford Mustang well beyond the limitations of the original leaf spring setup with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041733-RDS combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry with its premium remote-reservoir double-adjustable coilover package, giving serious street, autocross, and track builds extensive suspension tuning capability. Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link technology allows the suspension to articulate smoothly without binding, while tuned high-durometer rubber bushings provide controlled, quiet movement without relying on heim joints or urethane bushings.
The 041733-RDS configuration uses DSE/JRi aluminum-body double-adjustable remote-reservoir coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. The remote-canister design incorporates a gas-charged bladder to provide high-frequency and low-speed damping control, while billet aluminum mounts secure the remote shock canisters to the vehicle. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, and the long adjustable Panhard rod precisely controls lateral rear axle movement during hard cornering while allowing roll-center adjustment for different ride heights. This package also includes 175 pounds per inch coilover springs, an upper floor pan crossmember assembly that adds strength and rigidity to the rear structure, and a rear sway bar. Axle brackets are not included with 041733-RDS, making this version intended for use with complete rear-end assemblies equipped with the appropriate QUADRALink mounting provisions.
