DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Single-Adjustable Shocks (041733-SDS) - 1964 - 1970 Ford Mustang
Upgrade your 1964-1970 Ford Mustang from its original leaf spring rear suspension to the control, adjustability, and performance of the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. DSE 041733-SDS combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry with single-adjustable DSE/JRi coilovers, giving you improved rear axle control and the ability to fine-tune shock response for your combination. 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-SDS configuration features DSE/JRi aluminum-body single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving plus an installed rebound adjustment knob for straightforward suspension tuning. Long upper links provide excellent pinion and U-joint angle control, while the adjustable Panhard rod provides precise lateral rear axle location during hard cornering and allows roll-center adjustment as ride height changes. The system 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-SDS, making this version intended for complete rear-end assemblies equipped with the appropriate QUADRALink mounting provisions.
