when good designs go bad

Look at this wondeful mess of a front end. 

Lets see, main leaf only (it's not a mono) that touches the crossmember for 75% of its length
So it's trying to bend the ends of the spring.
But since it has coil overs mounted behind the axle maybe the thought was
it would act as a panhard bar?
Plate steering arms and heim ends (aka rose joint) on a rack/pinion
Sorry boys close but no cigar.
