In conlunction with tho iront radius-rods ad the torque-tube drive (lterns i8 ad 51). they ionn a spring suspen- sion system notable ior its security and la- bility. and the odvatages oi the solid iront axle are retained. There is nothing n! an experiment about Ford transverse spring suspension.

both iront ad rear axles are “throe- point mounted" In much the same way a is the engine. This method oi attaching the axles to the irarno prevents irasne distortion and permits the aorlos to move more ireely under the car when riding over rough roab.
