Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 6 / H25326 cavey 4418 Br2/S.24.3.26 re Chassis GCK-3 - Col. Vivian Jackson By 26-3-26 --------------------------------------- The above car was sent to us by the owner last week. He stated that he had run same less than 100 miles since he had taken delivery and he had experienced an uncontrollable wobble in the steering at low speeds. We found the rear ball joint of the side steering tube was loose and this was adjusted, but did not cure the wobble complained of. We then dismantled the pivots and rebedded the G.51848 gun metal washers. We afterwards tested the car on the road and found the wobbles complained of had disappeared. Br. {T. E.
