format=flowed It's like the later Ford "solid axle" IFS, where the axle 
is "broken" in the center. Late 50s and early 60s rear drive Mercedes 
IRS axles are done the same way. And of course the VW bug and early 
Corvair. There is no allowance for changing camber as the suspension 
travels (wheels stay perpendicular to the ends of the axles) , and 
travel is limited. For a street/light trail (rough road) truck the 
limited travel is fine. The few FSJs that got the IFS weren't used for 
off roading I'm sure. No, it is not. Are you going to look at the 
suspension drawings? Peter Marano Kenosha WI
