RideTech TruLink Rear Suspension System GM A-Body 1968-1972
$1335.00
Tune up your GM G Body chassis W/ Ridetech's TruLink Adjustable Rear Suspension System. Achieve significantly better handling and launch characteristics along W/ dramatically improved ride quality and service life.

The comprehensive system features heavy duty tubular control arms equipped W/ patent-pending R-Joints plus application-tuned HQ Series adjustable shock absorbers.

We replace your car's flex-prone stamped upper and lower control arms W/ precision-welded tubular steel StrongArms constructed from heavy duty 1.5 inch OD .156 wall DOM steel tube. The end result is less flex for more predictable handling and launch characteristics.

StrongArm rear trailing arms are precision welded at our Jasper, Indiana factory and then powder-coated for long-lasting appearance. We install patent-pending R-Joint rod ends and bearings for noise-free, high articulation movement W/ zero stiction.

R-Joints eliminate the binding, stiction, noise and vibration associated W/ poly bushings offered in most aftermarket control arms. R-Joints never need lubrication and have exceptional wear resistance. For ultimate articulation, the TruLink system features press-in R-Joints for your axle to upper control arm attachment points. This critical feature is often overlooked in the upgrade process.

The final piece in the TruLink system is a pair of RideTech HQ Series adjustable monotube shock absorbers. We custom-valve them specifically for the G-Body platform W/ modern tires. We provide rebound adjusent to help you fine tune compliance.

W/ a few turns of the adjusting knob, you can tune rebound damping to suit both your car's needs and your personal preferences. RideTech HQ Series shocks offer an industry-exclusive 1,000,001 mile warranty.

We're confident that TruLink is the most comprehensive bolt-on rear suspension system ever offered for GM G-Bodies.

It's also the most versatile design on the market. As your needs and budget grow, you can add matching HQ Series front shocks, StreetGRIP high performance coil springs and an adjustable MuscleBar rear sway bar.

Down the line, you can upgrade to adjustable coilovers or Shockwaves W/ matching TruTurn front suspension.

Not compatible W/ stock style sway bar (mounts between trailing arms). Use Ridetech adjustable rate bars Part 11329122.

Technology

RideTech greatly improves the ride quality and handling performance of your late model muscle car. Choose coil-over suspension, air suspension or monotube shock absorber upgrades. RideTech’s engineering team starts from the ground up with impact forged aluminum shock absorbers bodies that are vastly superior, with respect to quality, to anything offered from the factory. As such, RideTech offers an unbeatable 1,000,001 mile warranty. Like high-end exotics and race cars, RideTech shocks are monotubes. The design provides precision rebound and compression control as well as enhanced reliability. 

Coil-overs are popular upgrades for Mustangs Camaros and LX muscle. A Coilover is simply a shock surrounded by a coil spring; it places the shock and coil in one linear unit. A Coilover is a simple solution for most suspension designs, but can often be difficult to understand what you need. Fortunately, RideTech has your back with 21 years of suspension development.

Choosing a coil-over begins with two important decisions. The first is choosing the function of your vehicle. If you are building a performance car, then you will want a coil-over that has an adjustable shock. This allows the driver to tweak the “stiffness” of the suspension with a twist of a knob located on the shock. This adjustment knob controls the shock valving which controls the damping of the coil-over. This is a huge benefit for drivers who want to fine-tune their performance for the track, autocross, or the road. 

The second most important decision in choosing a coil-over is finding your desired spring rate for the coil spring. Spring rate is the force required to compress a spring 1″ and is an important factor in how comfortable your car rides and your ride height. RideTech has worked out ideal spring rates for your vehicle and intended driving style.
