Behind the Patented Detroit Speed Swivel-Link

041605-rear-speed-kit

Mooresville, NC – June 22, 2011

Detroit Speed is built on solid engineering.  When setting out to create the ultimate in suspension components for GM F-Body, X-Body, G–Body,  A-body and Chevy II vehicles, DSE had the opportunity to utilize the latest in technology, material, machining and assembly methods.

Seeing a deficiency in the leaf spring rear suspensions of the 1960’s.  DSE elected to take a clean sheet of paper and start over.  We started with our unique geometry in a four-link arrangement, utilizing coil-overs and a panhard bar.  Rather than using existing approaches, Detroit Speed devised  a system that eliminated noisy heim joints that can prematurely wear in a street driving envinroment.

Understanding that travel in a suspension should be smooth and fluid, there were several demands that needed to be satisfied to create the suspension we were after, in the parts were not available to accomplish the goal, we would invent our own.

Enter the creation of the Swivel-Link, the key component in the QUADRAlink rear suspension system.

Utilizing a revolutionary internal spindle that swivels on one end othe Swivel-Link allows the suspension to smoothly articulate, better keeping the rear tires planted during spirted driving maneuvers.  This sealed link has been through rigorous testing in the lab, street, and on the track.  As a bonus, the Swivel-Link travels through its range of motion silently, making for a better quality driving experience.

The US Patent office thought the Swivel Link was a good idea as well, and on July 15, 2008, DSE was granted a US Patent as inventor of the Swivel-Link.
