Description
The Heidts 4-Link Rear Suspension Kit for the 1962–1967 Chevy Nova is a performance-driven solution designed to replace the factory leaf spring setup. This system provides superior axle control and significantly improved traction, making it an essential upgrade for Nova owners looking to stabilize the rear end under high-horsepower acceleration or aggressive cornering.
Performance and Engineering
Axle Control: By moving from leaf springs to a 4-link system, you eliminate "wheel hop" and spring wrap-up. The geometry of the 4-bar links ensures the axle remains stable and the tires stay planted.
Structural Integration: This kit is designed for maximum chassis rigidity. It includes subframe connectors as standard equipment, which are vital for the early Nova unibody to prevent chassis twist and ensure the suspension works efficiently.
Lateral Stability: To prevent the rear axle from "walking" side-to-side during cornering, the system includes a panhard bar with dedicated chassis and axle mounting brackets.
Adjustable Dampening: The kit features coil-over shocks, providing full control over ride height and stiffness. This allows you to achieve the perfect stance while tailoring the ride quality to your preference.
Construction and Customization
Installation Versatility: This system is available in both Weld-In or Bolt-In options, allowing you to choose the level of permanence and structural integration that fits your project requirements.
Aesthetic Choices: The 4-bar links are available in plain or polished finishes. Additionally, the billet shocks can be ordered in Black, Plain, or Polished to match the look of your undercarriage.
Axle Integration: While the kit can be adapted to your existing axle (requires welding brackets), an optional rear axle housing with brackets pre-installed is available for a much simpler installation process.
Kit Includes:
Main Components: Chassis and axle brackets, plus a heavy-duty top crossmember.
Links: Four adjustable bars (Plain or Polished).
Lateral Support: Panhard bar with all necessary hardware.
Chassis: Full subframe connectors to tie the vehicle together.
Suspension: Adjustable coil-over shocks and 10" performance springs.
Available Options:
To build a complete high-performance rear end, the following upgrades are available:
Driveline: Custom axle housings, high-strength axles, and Positraction gear sets.
Safety & Alignment:Drive shaft hoop for added safety and an optional transmission crossmember.
Handling: A rear sway bar to further minimize body roll.
Braking: Performance rear disc brake kits to complement the improved handling.
