Live-Axle
Leaf springs control side sway A large amount of un-sprung weight Take up a lot of space
Axle Wind-up
Also.
Mounting one rear shock in the front of the axle and one behind the axle helps to reduce wind up and axle tramp
OFF-SET SHOCK DESIGN
The upper control arms control lateral movement (side movement) The lower control arms control differential torque (wind up)
Trailing Arm
The axle assemble twists, gives semi-independent effect The axle assembly acts as a sway bar Track bar controls side movement
Semi-Independent
Tie Rods
Trailing Arm
Torque loads create bushing and control arm deflection during braking, corning, acceleration and deceleration. This causes a toe change to enhance straight line stability Toe change during corning leads to quicker and more responsive steering
