Detroit Speed’s front frame is a bolt-in replacement for the original stock subframe. It improves the handling and ride quality by utilizing DSE’s unique suspension geometry. It is the ONLY Chevy II frame in the aftermarket industry with OEM quality stamped crossmembers for improved structural rigidity. The bay bars feature rigid integral hood hinge mounting and are hidden when used with DSE’s Chevy II Inner Fenders package.

The frame comes complete with the following components:

• Tubular upper and lower control arms

• Coilover springs
• Power rack and pinion steering
• Splined Sway Bar

SBC and LS engines have been designed as a direct bolt-in to this frame. The DSE frame has been designed, engineered, and developed for the road and track. This frame blends the benefits of current OEM technology and aftermarket performance into one product! The frame is sold in bare metal, uncoated and unassembled. If the powdercoat option is purchased, assembly is included.

Steering Coupler

The Steering Coupler U-joints utilize the latest in CNC machining technology. The U-joints are made out of the highest quality steel and have been thoroughly tested. Similar to OEM automotive U-joints, the staked needle bearing caps prevent loosening and adjustment malfunction.

The shaft is a DD that can be easily trimmed to exact length needed. Shafts are 12" in length as received.

Also available are vibration reducers (DSE recommended) which significantly reduce vibration in the steering wheel and have also been shown to increase the overall life of the steering components.

The Steering Coupler comes in many different configurations which are listed below for you to properly choose the correct size and joint for your application. It is available in plain steel or polished stainless steel; as well as, with or without a vibration damper.
