They have a plate that bolts to the solid differential housing. In the
center of that, is a rubber bushing. To this rubber bushing, is mounted
a leaf spring, going side to side. The ends of this spring is connected
to buy stiff rubber straps over each axle.
As the body starts to roll in a turn, the wheel that is being loaded,
pulls down on the opposite wheel.
