The rear shock absorbers were finally brought up to 80 up and down in order to bring them more into line with the front loading and avoid what I found to be a slight tendency to twist when the car was cornering. All the tyres have been balanced. I found the characteristics of the steering quite altered when we had finished, but I consider that the compromise achieved was in every way good for the purpose.
