| contd :- -2- By insertion of packing pieces under the springs of the hydraulic shock absorbers it is possible to obtain any loading to 140 lbs. on the front shock absorbers for an experimental test. We recommend that you try this. The rear shock absorbers will not stand a load of more than 100 lbs. at the ball end as the pressure in these is much higher owing to their longer length of lever.
