Show Flattening of Springs Interferes With Action Keeping springs fit Is not a matter mat-ter merely of keeping the friction qualities between the leaves constant and In keeping with the car. A point usually overlooked is that springs tend to flatten out so they are unable to do their best work. This also Interferes with the action of the devices that control the spring recoil. It is the first half-inch of spring deflection de-flection that makes for the easiest ride. This is when the springs are lolng their best work as the car's natural shock absorbers, and no amount of added equipment can compensate com-pensate for this loss, which develops through wear. When springs flatten just a quarter of an Inch, It is obvious that this much of their first half-inch of best deflection has been sacrjlied. The remedy is to have them removed re-moved and rearched. |
