The purpose of that bit hanging off the back of the diff is stop sideways movement, it does basically the same job as a panard rod the rods going forward are to locate it back and forth as the leaf springs wont be there.

Santa, are you eventually going coil overs in the rear? Is it usual to run a 4 link with leaf springs? Looking good

I am going to run 15x7 superlites with 205/50s on, its only got 12s on the front in that pic.The car in my avatar was just a random one I found on the net that just happened to be as I wanted. It will be running coil overs on the rear the leafs are just there holding it all together at the moment.You can run a 4 link with leaves just need slipper springs and rollers.
