DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Housing - C6 Floater - Satin Black - (1982 - 1992 Camaro / Firebird) - 073504DS
Give your third-generation Camaro or Firebird a rear axle foundation engineered for serious street, autocross, and track performance with the Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch QuadraLink C6 Floater Housing. Part number 073504DS combines the proven Ford 9-inch architecture with Detroit Speed's C6 full-floater design and application-specific QuadraLink suspension mounting. The floater configuration eliminates axle deflection, greatly reduces brake knockback, and helps deliver predictable, consistent braking and tire contact under demanding driving conditions.
Detroit Speed builds the 073504DS around a heavy-duty round-back housing with TIG-welded 3-inch axle tubes featuring .218-inch wall thickness. The QuadraLink brackets are TIG welded directly to the housing, providing a purpose-built foundation for the Detroit Speed QuadraLink rear suspension. The C6 floater configuration allows ABS use, can be used with or without a parking brake, and accepts factory C6 rear brakes along with compatible aftermarket rear brake packages from AP, Baer, or Wilwood. An axle vent plus fill and drain plugs are included, while the satin black powdercoat gives the housing a durable, finished appearance.
