DSE Rear Lower Swivel-Link Kit (042109DS) - 1982 - 2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Free up the rear suspension and gain valuable tire clearance with the DSE Rear Lower Swivel-Link Kit 042109DS. Engineered specifically for 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications, these rear lower links replace the stock control arms with Detroit Speed's patented Swivel-Link design. The system eliminates suspension bind and allows the rear suspension to fully articulate without relying on noisy spherical rod ends, making it a serious upgrade for performance street, autocross, restomod, and Pro-Touring F-Body builds.
Detroit Speed designed 042109DS to provide more than improved articulation. The Swivel-Links offer additional rear wheel and tire clearance compared to the stock lower control arms and allow pinion angle and/or wheelbase adjustments without unbolting the links from the car. Proper pinion-angle adjustment can help improve traction while reducing driveline vibration. The Swivel-Links are finished in satin black powder coat and the kit includes new mounting hardware for installation.
