Rusty_OToole Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) 1934 . It was available on Plymouth Chrysler and Dodge first. DeSoto and Chrysler Airflow models had special tuned leaf spring suspension with solid axles while the cheaper Chrysler Airstream models had IFS. DeSoto was only available as an Airstream model in 1934 so that made it the only Chrysler make not to offer IFS in 1934. They got an ifs Airstream model in 1935.On the other hand, some Plymouth and Dodge models used solid axles until 1938. From 1939 on, all car models had IFS while pickup trucks kept the solid axle until 1971.
