Default Independent Rear Suspension??

First I want to thank everyone on here that has helped me on my Uplander, I have been diy on cars for 40 years but some of these after 2000 gets me bothered, so thank you all. Now my question, I have one brake hose that is bad on driver rear, I need to know if my Uplander has Independent Rear Suspension or not? It's just fwd, thanks again everyone.

if it doesn't have a solid axle or beam running all the way from one rear wheel to the other, then it's independant.
Almost all FWD vehicles have IRS.

I just looked, it has a sollid steel beam from driver to passenger rear also another metal beam inside it all the way across from one side to the other.
