front end sway and stabilizes ride on rough roads, in heavy winds and when making sharp
turns.
No service attention is required except to see that the connecting link nuts are properly
tightened.
A rear lateral stabilizer is used as standard equipment. One end of this device is
assembled to the frame side member and the other end to the rear axle housing. Its purpose
is to control the horizontal movement of the body
and car. It also prevents lateral shake of the axle under the car on rough roads.
The ends of the steel bar are cushioned in rubber and no lubrication should be applied to
these points.

Rear springs are of long leaf, semi-elliptical
design. The front ends are attached to frame
brackets with pivot bolts cushioned in rubber.
The rear ends are attached to the frame
through threaded, self-adjusting "U" type

bushings. The bushing threads are protected
from road splash and dirt by rubber seals. The
rear springs of passenger models are fitted
with metal covers.
