Triple watts link?

[feeble]

In a solid rear axle car, does anyone know of any examples of a suspension that incorporates a watts link on either side of the axle on or near the axle housing ends, replacing the lower links (in a 3 link suspension for example). The “propeller” for the watts links at the ends of the axle housing would have to pivot on the axle tube.


A traditional watts link could be used to locate the axle laterally and an upper 3rd link to control the axle housing “roll” front to back (My terminology is not right, most of this is pretty new to me.)


It seems to me that as view from the side, the axle motion would be up and down rather than scribing an arc as would be done with a single lower link on each side.


Would there be any handling benefit to such a suspension compared to a traditional 3 link? Does this exist somewhere already? Could maybe be used in conjuction with a De Dion tube?



Thanks!
