| W/K - Mr. Clarke. X242 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.12/JH.17.3.36. We understand that you are experiencing complaints of rear shock absorber knocks. It is suggested here that certain of these are due to the suspension plates becoming loose at the attachment to the rear cross-member. Could you let me have a summary of your shock absorber knock complaints, and your estimation as to how many of these are internal faults and how many due to loose suspension plates. The number of complaints per month would be useful. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les! | ||
