The above scheme has been produced to deal with two of the complaints which appear on memo Chateauroux(French test region) 2/ 18.3.38. 1st. the wearing away of the rubber distance piece GW.2015, which consequently allows the Tie Rod GW.2014 to foul the plate CW.2021. 2nd. the slacking off of the nut on the Tie Rod at the front end of the rubber buffers, GW.2017. It should be noted that only Fig.2 should be detailed. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} WYMAN | ||
