:This design combines the excellent camber control of the beam axle with the reduction of unsprung weight and elimination of driveshaft torque features of the fully independent rear suspension. <br> The differential unit is solidly connected to the chassis and two universal joints and a splined connector are used with each axle. A single piece, usually consisting of a large diameter tube bent so as to avoid interference with the differential unit, connects the wheel uprights.
