DSE Swivel-Link Rear Suspension Kit (042104DS) - 1964 - 1967 GM A-Body
Take the bind out of your classic A-Body rear suspension with the DSE Swivel-Link Rear Suspension Kit 042104DS. Engineered specifically for 1964-1967 GM A-Body applications, this kit replaces the factory-style rear links with Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link system. The unique trailing-arm design allows the rear suspension to fully articulate without relying on noisy spherical rod ends, giving performance-minded street, restomod, and Pro-Touring builds a more capable rear suspension foundation.
The Swivel-Link design does more than free up suspension movement. Detroit Speed engineered these rear links to allow easy pinion-angle adjustment, helping optimize traction while reducing driveline vibration. The complete kit includes two upper and two lower link assemblies along with new mounting hardware and the required bushing sleeve assemblies for applicable 1965-1967 A-Body axle housings. The links arrive finished in satin black powder coat for a clean, durable appearance underneath the car.
