Ridetech Bolt-On 4-Link Suspension System for 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird
The Ridetech Bolt-On 4-Link Suspension System, MPN 11167197, replaces the factory rear leaf spring suspension on 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird with a 4-link setup, installing onto the factory leaf spring mounts with no cutting or fabrication required beyond four small tabs welded to the axle for the upper bars. The kit is compatible with mini-tubbed cars and typically lowers ride height by approximately 1 to 3 inches when paired with Ridetech coilovers or Shockwave air suspension, sold separately. Double adjustable 4-link bars allow precise positioning of the rear axle to reduce flex and improve stability through corners by optimizing anti-squat percentage and roll center height, and patented R-Joint rod ends combine low friction movement, lateral stability, and full range articulation in a single quiet-operating bearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit include coilovers or shocks?
No. Coilovers or Shockwave air suspension are required to complete the system and are sold separately.
Does installation require cutting or welding?
The kit bolts on to the factory leaf spring mounts with no cutting required, though four small tabs must be welded to the axle for the upper bars.
How much does this kit lower the car?
Ride height typically drops approximately 1 to 3 inches when paired with Ridetech coilovers or Shockwave air suspension.
Is this kit compatible with mini-tubbed cars?
Yes. The 4-link bars are designed to work with mini-tubbed rear wheel wells.
What do the R-Joint rod ends improve over standard rod ends?
The patented R-Joint rod ends combine low friction movement, lateral stability, and full range articulation into one bearing, reducing noise and binding compared to standard rod ends.
What is anti-squat percentage and why does it matter?
Anti-squat percentage describes how the rear suspension geometry resists squatting under acceleration. The double adjustable bars let you tune this along with roll center height for improved stability through corners.
Does this system fit both Camaro and Firebird?
Yes. This kit fits all 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird trims sharing the same F-body chassis.
Is professional installation recommended?
Professional installation is recommended for correct fitment and welding of the axle-side mounting tabs.
