Yeah I think it does. It's a sort of complicated double wishbone system on the 75 with lots of rubber links that give movement.

On a Peugoet 306 or Rover 25 the rear steer is very pronouced. They use trailing arms with wobbly mountings to achieve this. My Rover 200 has no rear steer and is very different to R25's that do.

I had a Golf Gti Mk1 and an Austin Meastro (Meastro layout drives like a wide Mk1) and they had regular trailing arms with solid mounts. They drive without the artic truck type bend in the middle sensation you get with modern cars.
