You're right. I forgot about all the Sprigets that use a panhard bar with
success.
Does it work as well on the half eliptical springs as it does on the quarters?

I have seen panhard bars on Mustangs rip the spring mounts right off the car
due to a binding condition.

Watts links have been around since the early Trans-am days, but they probably
aren't historically correct on a lot of vintage cars. Incidentally, neither is
a Panhard bar, unless it was provided by the manufacturer.
