It's a spherical bearing. I don't have a better picture, but it's shown here...

Ahhh, makes sense, would be easy to fabricate and has a wide range of motion. TA is designed to slide within the bearing under stop & go transition yes? About how much movement do you think? Did it require lubrication to prevent binding? If true, how do you keep dirt out or lube from washing away in the rain?
Thanks for the link.

Here is a write up on our front Speed Kit 3 from our friends at Chevy High Performance Magazine.
I will also be dumping some videos of our test car here so you can see the products in action!

That quadra link rear end looks great. Would love to get this and drop some of the extra parts out of the rear.
Any plans in a building a tubular k member?

Ok next question. Will the quadrilink system on away with the rear seat?
Meaning will the upper arm boxes lose the ability to put the rear seats back in?

I’m interested in hearing more from DSE on this product:
http://www.detroitspeed.com/1982-199...shaft-kit.html
Its main competitor seems to be the Astro van shaft. Outside of the vibration reducing joint, any other details?

Would happen to have a drawing of this brace? Specifically bolt pattern and spacing? I already have drilled holes for a QA1 three point and I would love to use this one instead. However, I might be out of luck unless the mounting points are close enough.

You guys are making some sick sick gear for the thirdgen so I say this with all due respect: if the $90 difference per each strut
https://www.detroitspeed.com/1982-19...-f-body-031024
versus what summit sells’em for
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kon-8741-1030spt
is emblematic of the margin on all your stuff it occurred to me a minimal reduction in the prices might escalate your sales volume dramatically to a net benefit to your guys’ bottom line. I suspect way more dreamers than buyers at current prices and yes I get this stuff is premium and not developed and manufactured cheaply which I respect. Just a thought.
Cheers
