DSE Ford 9-Inch QuadraLink Narrowed Housing - C6 Floater - Satin Black - (1964 - 1966 Mustang) - 073530DS
Build your 1964 - 1966 Mustang 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 073530DS combines the proven Ford 9-inch architecture with Detroit Speed's C6 full-floater design and application-specific QuadraLink suspension mounting. The floater configuration improves handling with predictable, consistent braking and tire contact while eliminating axle deflection, greatly reducing brake knockback, and increasing bearing life.
Detroit Speed constructs the 073530DS 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, 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 provides a durable, finished appearance.
