DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing - C6 Floater - Satin Black - (1970 - 1974 Camaro / Firebird) - 073502DS
Build your second-generation Camaro or Firebird around a rear axle housing engineered for serious street, autocross, and track performance with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink Narrowed C6 Floater Housing. Part number 073502DS combines the proven strength and versatility of a Ford 9-inch housing with Detroit Speed's C6 full-floater configuration and application-specific QuadraLink suspension mounting. The floater design eliminates axle deflection, greatly reduces brake knockback, and helps maintain predictable braking and consistent tire contact under demanding driving conditions.
Detroit Speed constructs the 073502DS with a heavy-duty round-back housing and TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness. QuadraLink brackets are TIG welded directly to the housing, giving your suspension a purpose-built mounting foundation while reducing the fabrication required to prepare a generic housing. The C6 floater configuration allows ABS use, can be used with or without a parking brake, and accepts factory C6 rear brakes as well as compatible aftermarket brake packages from AP, Baer, or Wilwood. The housing is finished in a durable satin black powdercoat and includes an axle vent plus fill and drain plugs.
