These spring studs, thus tying together thechassis and the axle, are free in their seats within limitsfixed by the torque resisting devices. Referring to the drawing, the forward torque member,supported in trunnions from the chassis frame, takesall driving strains through a large ball and socket Aattached to the motor cradle which 1 ims a iextension of the axle housing.
