What is the cross-spring for? Antirattle?

The safety wire that runs between the two Terry Body springs is just there to prevent one from some how rattling loose and falling off. That has never happened, but I tend to safety wire anything I can on that car as that FE shakes it pretty good. My last two "stranded out in BumFu**" threads have been the result of little insignificant bolts and screws that vibrated loose. In fact, as an onwer of a new-to-you ERA you should check the clutch throw-out arm set screw and the shiftter linkage bolts to make sure they are tight. A cursory examination will not ferret them out -- you have to go look for those two gems. While you're at it, tighten up your motor mounts as well. |
