A watts link obtains centering of a rear differential through 2 rods attached to a plate which pivots on the center of the rear axel. This setup allows up and down motion of the rear end through the rotation of the steel plate while the bars attaching to opposite sides of the rotating plate prevent the rear end from moving side to side as they oppose each others motion | A watts link obtains centering of a rear differential through 2 rods attached to a plate which pivots on the center of the rear axel.

| + | This linkage allows the roll center to be lower than possible with either a Panhard or Watts arrangement. | ||
| + | The advantage is that it allows the use of high rate suspension springs...which provide some advantages with aerodynamic loads...without seriously affecting the distribution of the roll couple. | ||
