CENTRAL OILING AND SHOCK DAMPERS With reference to the modifications to the central oiling and the shock dampers, we find thatt he defect is only likely to occur in the front shock dampers, and the modification is already in hand for taking the lubrication from the axle, and so cut/off the shock damper shaft entirely, and this will be right for the cars with the central oiling carried on to the axles.
