Jay,
OK - I guess I'll concede; just stirring the pot.
Happy Easter,

ok, here's mine -
by that standard, no suspension with a sway bar would be a fully
independent suspension - front or rear.

It isn't a live axle, it isn't a De Dion, it is independent.
The motion path of each wheel is independent of the other, even if the
effective spring rate is affected by the motion /position of the other.

fwiw
