My 64 Lebaron has two flat stabilizer bars (for lack of a better term) running from a frame mount under the back seat, to a mount on top of the axle, one on each side. They are flat just like a leaf spring with a curl on each end. They are about 2 3/4 inches wide by about 5/16 inch thick. Inside each curl there is a rubber bushing and the mounting bolt. Is it possible that this stabilizer bar is what Moparman might be referring to?
Struts are on newer cars - that's a specific word for
a specific part, I am afraid.
Suggest that you look on the site on the Service
Manual for your car first, then email in a link of a
page with a picture in the manual showing what you're
referring to, since there are two leaf springs, two
shocks, and the rear axle on my 64 and not much else
is "springing" to mind.
Later Fuselage cars had elastic isolators to keep the
leaf springs off of the rear-end....
Yah, they are pretty good cars, huh?
all 700 of us think so too.
