It appears to us that there are possibilities in this idea if it was given a fair chance. If the shock absorber arms and ball ends were strengthened, the rod replaced by a tubular sleeve on which was a set up torsional spring so arranged that no criss cross motion could start until the load on the shock absorbers arm ball exceeded 250 - 300 lbs., we believe the result might prove of some service as an anti-wobbling device.
