actually what i am saying is that a leaf spring does an excellent job of locating the rear axle side to side, which means if you use a torque arm with axle housing floating brackets on leaf springs, you dont need a panhard bar or a watts link.
I won't wade in too deep here since I've never used a t-arm. However in own experiennce my 5 leafs and traction masters alone where never able to keep my rear end locked down solid. I push the limits with tire width on my car so any side to side movement of my rear was easily evident and there was alot of it during normal driving conditions for me. When I added the watts all the issues with lateral rear movement dissappeared.
