DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing - Torino Flange - Satin Black - 1975-1981 Camaro / Firebird - 071503DS
Build the rear suspension of your 1975-1981 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird around a purpose-built performance foundation with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing. Part number 071503DS is engineered specifically for the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension system, combining the strength and versatility of a Ford 9-inch housing with application-specific suspension mounting. Instead of modifying a generic housing and fabricating critical suspension brackets, this housing arrives with the QuadraLink brackets already TIG welded in place for a clean, properly configured rear axle build.
Detroit Speed constructs 071503DS 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, while the Torino ends accept rear brake packages using a 2.5-inch offset from AP, Baer, or Wilwood. This version is finished in satin black powdercoat, giving your second-generation F-Body a durable, finished housing ready to serve as the foundation for the center section, axle shafts, brakes, and other components selected for your build.
