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 ap-
plied to these points.

Rear springs are of long leaf, semi-ellipti-
cal 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"
ype shackles operating in hardened steel,
threaded bushings. The bushing threads are
protected from road splash and dirt by rub-
ber seals. The rear springs of passenger
models are fitted with metal covers.
