Suspension and Steering Manuals

Suspension and Steering is a category within Components and Systems. It gathers manuals on the parts that carry a car and guide it, such as shock absorbers and steering gears. Manuals here cover Ford cars of 1928–1940 and 1953 Chevrolet passenger cars, with service procedures for shock absorbers and power steering.

The 1928–1940 Ford Houdaille Shock Absorber Service Bulletin, dated January 1940, covers fluid checks, valve adjustment, part number guides and full rebuilding for Ford models from the Model A through the late 1930s and Mercury. The 1953 Chevrolet Power Steering and Autronic Eye Repair Manual covers the optional GM hydraulic power steering gear and Vickers pump. Restorers and mechanics rebuilding period shocks and steering will find them useful.
