A bushing bolts to the tail housing of the transmission and then a link connects the rear axle to that bushing to control axle rotation. It's basically a type of 3 link suspension.
Looks like the Vega had a torque arm suspension as well.

Thank you, aha, I appreciate that, but there's a big difference between a torque tube and a torque arm. I can buy into the torque arm setup, the torque tube as you pointed out I only knew of one modern car that had it that being the Corvette, the older Chevys may have had it but those may have been pre War cars or 50s.
