DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing - Torino Flange - Bare - 1967-1969 Camaro / Firebird / 1968-1974 Nova - 071001DS
Build the rear suspension of your classic F-Body or X-Body around a serious performance foundation with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing. Part number 071001DS is designed for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird, and 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova applications using the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension system. This bare housing combines the proven Ford 9-inch architecture with application-specific QuadraLink bracketry, giving builders a purpose-built starting point for a high-performance rear axle assembly.
Detroit Speed builds this housing around a heavy-duty round-back design with 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness. The tubes and QuadraLink suspension brackets are TIG welded for a strong, precise assembly, while billet Torino housing ends provide the required axle-end configuration. An axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are included, and the housing accepts rear brake packages with a 2.5-inch offset from AP, Baer, or Wilwood. Part number 071001DS is supplied in a bare finish and is the axle housing only, allowing the remaining rear-end components to be selected for the requirements of your build.
