DSE C6 Full Floater Kit - Ford 9-Inch Housing Ends Included (070510DS)
Upgrade a Ford 9-inch rear axle with the strength, consistency, and serviceability of a full-floating hub design using the Detroit Speed C6 Full Floater Kit. Part number 070510DS is the unassembled version of Detroit Speed's C6 full-floater system and includes the housing ends required for installation on a Ford 9-inch housing. By separating wheel and brake loads from the axle shafts, the system eliminates axle deflection at the hub, helping maintain a more consistent tire contact patch and brake pedal height during demanding performance driving.
Detroit Speed builds the system around C6 bearing packs and makes it compatible with stock GM C6 or aftermarket C6 rear brake systems. Reducing axle deflection also helps minimize brake knockback while increasing bearing life, making the system particularly valuable for pro-touring, autocross, road-course, and other high-performance applications where consistent braking and rear-tire control matter. Because 070510DS includes the housing ends and requires precise alignment and welding to the Ford 9-inch housing, Detroit Speed recommends installation by a professional driveline shop.
