Scott Timmons (CamaroFamily) and Jason Howerton (EC Auto and Iron Fabrication in Gilroy, CA) installing Detroit Speed rear suspension in our daily driven 1986 Chevrolet IROC-Z Camaro, named #IROCdaily.
Follow along as we improve the handling performance and eliminate squeaks by replacing our old stock rear suspension with new Detroit Speed rear suspension.
The Detroit Speed parts:
Speed Kit 1 Rear Suspension Kit (1982-92 Camaro / Firebird - Stock Axle) PN: 041640
Rear Lower Swivel-Link Kit (1982-92 Camaro / Firebird) PN: 042109
We give some tips and tricks to use when installing the rear suspension.
Look for more videos of this project to be uploaded next week! Let us know what kind of upgrades you would like us to post on our channel.
Note: Use the instructions included with the Detroit Speed components for proper installation and torque specifications. Their torque specifications might be different than the factory torque specifications due to the use of different bolts and other factors.
DANGER! SAFETY DISCLAIMER: Use caution when working on your vehicle. Always work on your vehicle on a level surface and use proper equipment (lift, floor jack, jack stands, strapping, and hand tools) while raising, supporting, and lowering your vehicle and its components. To do all of the tasks performed in this video, you will be working around very heavy components (including the car and the rear axle housing), so be very careful and use proper equipment to support them, because these will rotate and move during the removal and installation process.
