Are there any other cars that use leaf springs like our cars and a 
panhard bar? The use of a panhard bar in our case is just counter 
intuitive to me. The leaf springs keep the rear end located and that 
would seem to make the panhard bar redundant. Yeah, I know about wheel 
hop, but a panhard bar or any other kind of lateral location linkage is 
to keep the rear centered.  If I put coil overs on the rear of my car, 
then, yeah, a locating bar would be needed, as well as some trailing 
linkage for fore and aft movement.

So why did they install it? Did the Alpine have one? .
