$
Rough roads or smooth, they all feel better
when you’re in a Ford. Why? Because this year t
Ford has re-designed its famous Ball-Joint v. |j
Front Suspension. The front springs are now
tilted at an angle so they can absorb road p
shock from the front as well as straight up
from beneath the wheels. As a result springs '
are sensitive to tiny road flaws, such as paving
joints, as well as really rough roads. It means
smoother going for you over all roads.
