DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - No Axle Brackets - Non-Adjustable Shocks (041733DS) - 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 041733DS combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused 4-link geometry with DSE/JRi non-adjustable coilover shocks for improved handling, rear axle control, ride quality, and chassis response. 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 041733DS configuration features DSE/JRi aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, delivering performance-focused damping without requiring external shock adjustments. 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 allows roll-center control as ride height changes. The upper floor pan crossmember assembly adds strength and rigidity to the rear body and frame section, while the included rear sway bar further improves suspension control. This version does not include axle brackets and is intended for use with complete rear-end assemblies equipped with the appropriate QUADRALink mounting provisions.
