[Amc-list] Another Rear Axle option!

["John Elle" <johnelle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I spent a few hours in a Police car wrecking yard today 
and took a short look at the rear axle arrangement of a 
'99 Ford LTD Cop Car. 
It had disc brakes, a very simple 4 link rear axle that 
looked not unlike AMX torque links in configuration
but unequal length, with the uppers shorter than the 
lowers and the lowers were about 18 inches long and 
very simply mounted on the sides of the "chassis" with 
coil springs holding the axle down. I did not look to see 
what was there that did the job of a panhard bar but 
nothing on the car looked overly difficult to fabricate. 
With the discussions on changing out torque tube 
rear axles, this one has not come up yet but sure looks
promising.  The mounting configuration on the sides
of the chassis seemed to be something that would 
work on a uni-body AMC type car to me. 
 
John.
