I don't think you could call the swing axels on a Herald independent.
They were connected by a cart spring across the top.
Which is why they were such cr@p in corners.
I had one, but not by choice.


Ah, but a judicious anti-roll bar could tame all that..my spitfire -
which I still have, had one added..controllable 4 wheel drifts..

The Spitfire had negative camber. The Herald positive at least when
unladen - and body roll caused the loaded wheel to tuck under, as it were.

The snag was anything more sophisticated required an extra joint in the
driveshafts. So more cost. Which of course they did in later models of the
same basic design.
