fuel Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 De Dion technically isn't independent - while the diff head itself is mounted to the body/chassis, the wheels are still connected to each other just like a solid axle and are therefore dependent. The advantage of De Dion over a proper solid axle is less unsprung weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 kind of like a fwd rear axle set up and they thought they chuck a diff in it... out of it... that one looks to be linked rather than a leaf set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuel Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 yeah but Bellet's use the leaf spring more as an anti-sway bar and also to supplement the coil springs in the rear don't they? plus they are more swing-axle like early VW's rather than actual IRS.
