Independent suspension in which axle shafts project from a rigidly mounted final drive unit. The wheels move independently up and down relative to the differential.
It describes a sort of independent rear suspension with the use of half shafts which have universal joints at their inboard ends on both sides of the differential. This creates up-and-down movements of the wheel with a camber angle change.
