SPRINGS, SHOCK ABSORBERS

REAR SPRINGS
Effective November 14, 1948, production began
using as an option for light scale only,
a Spring Perch rear spring Part No. 302440 on model
491 Broughams and all Coupes. This spring has
rubber inserts at the ends of the long leaves as
illustrated in Figure 1. Following.
All the spring leaves of this type spring are
covered with a preparation called "Sleekkote",
which affords adequate permanent dry lubrication
and prevents rust formation.
Under no circumstances should these springs be
lubricated as it will affect the rubber inserts; neither
should spring covers be applied, as it is intended that
they should operate without covers. It is recom-
mended that any replacement be of the same as that
removed.
