Sounds like the upper and lower control arms, if you have this no IRS I'm afraid.

And it sounds like you're confused - upper and lower control arms (another name for wishbones) is EXACTLY what IRS is about. Maybe you meant upper and lower trailing links - this is what the Watts rear end uses.

syktlr> Look under the back of your car - if you see a solid beam going from one side to the other, and carrying the diff in the centre, and with a Pivot mount on the diff carrying two locating rods then you are looking at a Watts link rear end.
