Car shock absorbers promise longer life and comfort
Royal Automobile Association of South Australia chief engineer R Brinkman says a car cannot live forever despite re-auditioning and modern design. Economical life sits near 100000 miles as postwar innovations improve appearance, maneuverability, speed, and especially comfort. W H Wylie notes postwar research produced shock absorbers suited to Australian conditions, with Australian absorbers shining in the Redex Trial and chosen for the 10000 mile Australia course.
