Jimi That setup is different
I believe the leaf link was developed by the boys involved with the Motown Missile P/S projects. I think the first one was installed in the 70 Challenger.
If I remember the design correctly, basically the front spring segment was clamped together solid, & everything behind the axle was left unclamped. The clamps make the front of the springs a "solid lower link". There was a housing floater (so the housing floats on the spring) and a top link from a "four link" for location.
