Well I guess I've been mispronouncing this for 30 something years. I've 
always called what you have a picture of a trailing are and what fits on 
the end of the torsion bar and bolts to the trailing arm the spring 
plate. It's been so long not sure where I got those terms but I think it 
was from the old Clements repair manual I had for the fastback back in 
high school.
