Spring Mountings
Chassis noise, erratic spring action and wandering of
the car on the road can often be attributed to spring
mountings.
Adjust the spring shackles to remove end play of
spring on shackle bolt by loosening the locking nut,
"A" and turning the bolt "B" until tight, then turn back
one-sixth turn and tighten nut "A."
This operation should be performed every 5000
miles on both upper and lower shackle bolts at the rear
of both the front and rear springs and on the anchor
bolts (not illustrated), holding the front ends of front
and rear springs to the frame brackets.
The spring clip nuts (front and rear) shown in the
illustration should be tightened every 5000 miles.
When making the above adjustments the body hold-
down bolts should also be tightened. There are eight of
these, four on each side, located just outside the frame
side members and under the body sills. Draw the nuts
tight after the first 1500 miles and every 5000 miles
thereafter.
