DSE C7 Full Floater Kit - Housing Ends Included (070512DS)
Bring modern full-floating rear axle technology to your performance build with the Detroit Speed C7 Full Floater Kit 070512DS. This unassembled package includes the Detroit Speed housing ends and uses a C7 bearing pack to separate wheel and brake loads from the axle shafts. By eliminating axle deflection at the hub, the system helps deliver more predictable and consistent brake pedal height and tire contact patch while reducing brake knockback and increasing bearing life.
The C7-based design adds another major advantage for modernized performance builds: it allows use of the factory ABS system. Detroit Speed designed the system for compatibility with stock GM C7 or aftermarket C7 rear brake systems, and the assembly can be configured with or without the C7 parking brake assembly. Part number 070512DS is the version that includes the left- and right-hand Detroit Speed hub axle ends. Proper alignment and welding are required during installation, so Detroit Speed recommends having the work performed by a professional driveline shop.
