Ridetech 73-74 Nova Bolt-On 4-Link

Bolt-On 4-Link System | 1968-1974 Nova

The Ridetech Bolt-On 4-Link replaces OEM leaf springs, lowers the stance, and greatly improves the handling, traction and ride quality.

Muscle cars have always been the backbone of hot rodding … and now they are hotter than ever! The problem is nobody wants to put up with the ride quality, handling, and braking technology of 40 years ago. After driving a modern car, the compromises of a standard leaf spring suspension just doesn’t cut it! Now there is a solution……

This Ridetech 4-Link System is specifically designed for the 1968-1974 Nova, Acadian, Apollo, Omega and Ventura and is for use with Coil-overs or ShockWave air suspension (sold separately). Replacing the leaf springs with a 4-Link dramatically improves ride quality, traction and handling, while offering an adjustable stance at 1”-3” lower than stock. Instead of a wallowing soft ride, you’ll experience a crisp, controlled ride that will inspire confidence. The 4-Link design offers more precise positioning of the rear axle, eliminates axle wrap (wheel hop) and increases stability through the corners with optimized roll center height and anti-squat.

The lower bars attach to the OEM leaf spring mounts and to the axle with bolt-on brackets. A stout tubular cradle bolts between the frame rails creating attachment points for the upper bars and shocks. No cutting or fabrication to your prized muscle car, just four small tabs that are welded to the axle to attach the upper bars. The patented R-Joint rod ends combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack!
