| -3- It is possible that when the shock absorbers are filled, all the air is not excluded from the system and consequently as the car is driven about this air is expelled and the oil level falls. Therefore, a careful inspection of the oil level in the shock absorbers should be made and if necessary the poundage checked. (7) TYRES. We again emphasis that makes of tyres other than Dunlop should be suspected as potential sources of poor steering. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bn.{W.O.
