Ford also used a similar looking device on the rear axle of some of their cars and trucks in the early '80s. In 1979(Jeeze) I was looking at a Ford Fiesta. Car & Driver or Road & Track called it the "next Mini Cooper" (sorry wrong) But I bit it anyway. One of those gas crisis decisions.
Anyway---The salesman thought the weight dampener "thing" on the rear of the '79 mustang was "posi-traction". DA
Went and Bought the Fiesta from another dealer, but that is another story. Wanted a F250 4x4 realy bad but the gas thing and the TTB stopped me from that.
