| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Am2/AD13.11.29 contd. -3- out when the cylinders would normally need re-grinding. Hydraulic Damper Rattles. We should like to know if any cases have occurred where the treatment adopted on Mr.Pilling's car has not overcome the trouble. Steering joggles and wobbles. We are rather surprised at the number of complaints. We presume that in all cases customers can be satisfied with existing schemes for improvement. Does the ball end lubrication on these cars require the same treatment as the 40/50? Broken front spring. In our experience, the best way of improving front spring life is to fit hydraulic shock absorbers. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
