Hydrauue direct doubleacting ait-boostertype shock ebtorbers are mouated diagonally behind the coil springs SERIES C10-20; P10 ondcolt motion of the rear ale is contrlled by two channel section control arms pivoted at a forward frome crommember Lateral motion of the rear axle is restricied by a contol arm which rune approximately parallel to the axle housing. One end of thir arm is pivoted at the frame siderad, and the olher end at Axles & Suspensions—Page 20 1 axle attachment. The contol arma permit axle motion, but ‘maintain proper axle portion. Spring action is performed by sage coll springs, pronding an excellent ride when the vehicle is empty or lightly loaded—ineveasing in capacity ar the load becomes greater.
