DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Housing - Torino Flange - Bare - 1982-2003 S10 / S15 / Sonoma 2WD - 071043DS
Put a serious rear-end foundation under your 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, GMC S15, or GMC Sonoma 2WD with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink Housing. Part number 071043DS is purpose-built for Detroit Speed's QuadraLink rear suspension system, combining the strength and versatility of a Ford 9-inch housing with application-specific suspension mounting. With the QuadraLink brackets already TIG welded in place, this housing eliminates the need to start with a generic rear end and fabricate critical suspension mounting points from scratch.
Detroit Speed builds 071043DS for demanding street and track use with a heavy-duty round-back housing, TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness, and billet Torino ends. An axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are incorporated into the housing, and the Torino ends accept 2.5-inch-offset rear brake packages from AP, Baer, or Wilwood. This version is supplied in a bare finish and includes the housing only, giving you the freedom to complete the rear end with the axle shafts, center section, brakes, and related components appropriate for your build.
