Spring Mountings
Chassis noise, erratic spring action
and wandering of the car on the road
can often be attributed to spring
mountings.
Adjust the spring shackles to re-
move end play of spring on shackle
bolt by loosening the locking nut "A"
and turning the bolt "B" until tight,
then turn back one-sixth turn and
tighten nut "A."
This operation should be performed
every 5000 miles on both upper and
lower shackle bolts at the rear of both
the front and rear springs and on the
anchor bolts (not illustrated), holding
the front ends of front and rear
springs to the frame brackets.
The spring clip nuts (front and rear)
shown in the illustration should be
tightened every 5000 miles.
When making the above adjust-
ments the body hold-down bolts
should also be tightened. There are
eight of these, four on each side, lo-
cated just outside the frame side
members and under the body sills.
Draw the nuts tight after the first 1500
miles and every 5000 miles thereafter.
