APCO Style
Radius Rod Anti-Rattler
Spring Loaded Radius Rod (Wishbone) Ball Support
The Model T
Wishbone is fastened to the engine pan with a
simple casting, which can wear over time, create clearance and can allow the
wishbone to move and even rattle. The
wishbone is the important component that holds the front axle secure, and
looseness may cause shimmy or other steering troubles.
The APCO Style
Spring Loaded Wishbone Ball Support ends this problem by applying a
continuous spring tension on the ball through a special brass ‘button’ between
the spring and the ball. The ‘button’ is
made of tough Ampco ® brass and is concave to fit the radius of the wishbone
ball. The special spring provides
tension when compressed by the steel spring tensioning screw threaded into the
tough cast brass body. The plug is
secured by a cotter pin. Just add plenty
of your favorite grease at installation.
Note the
mounting of the APCO Style support uses the standard studs, springs and nuts
which must be tightened securely until the springs are collapsed and secured
with wire so that the studs cannot back out.
The support’s spring tensioning screw must be secured with a cotter pin
