Rear spring bar and front control arm madness
Actually the rear spring tie in is based on a good idea. First time I saw this was on '70's IHC Scout front axle. It reduces wander on the front end, by stopping the shackles from "laying over" and on some front steering, this effectively "steers" the front axle. On my old Landcruiser, I replaced the inboard plate of the front shackle and drilled a leaf spring and attached between the two. It made a TREMENDOUS difference in road handling
Below are not mine.........Picchurs I stole off the www
