THE new Ford is exception-
ally easy to steer because of
the well - proportioned
weight of the car, the steel-
spoke wheels, the co-ordi-
nated design of springs and
shock absorbers, the size
and design of the steering
wheel, and the simple me-
chanical construction of the
steering gear.
The Ford steering gear is
of the worm and sector
type used on high-priced
cars and is three-quarter
irreversible.
In simple, non-technical
language, this means that
the car responds easily and
quickly to the steering wheel,
yet there is no danger of the
wheel being jerked from the
hands of the driver by ruts
or bumps in the road. A
light touch guides the car,
yet you always have that
necessary feel-of-the-road so
essential to good driving.
Strength of materials and
careful workmanship give
unusual stability to the Ford
steering gear and housing.
The steering worm, for
instance, is splined to the
steering worm shaft and is
stronger, of course,
than if a single key
were used to hold
the shaft and worm to-
gether. The steering worm
sector, is forged and ma-
chined in the same piece
with its shaft.
The housing of the steer-
ing gear mechanism is made
of three steel forgings, elec-
trically welded together.
This housing is then electri-
cally welded to the steering
column. Such a one-piece
steel unit is naturally much
sturdier than if several parts
were used and bolted or riv-
eted together.
Throughout, the new Ford
steering mechanism is so
simple in design and socare-
fully made that it requires
practically no attention.
The only thing for you to
do is to have the front steer-
ing spindles, spindle con-
necting rods, and drag link
lubricated every 500 miles
and the steering gear lubri-
cated every 2000 miles.
For this work, yon will
find it best to consult the
Ford dealer. He has been
specially trained and
equipped to help you get
the greatest possible use
from your car over the long-
est period of time at
a minimum of trou-
ble and expense.
