Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

c26 Power steering applies to all wheels, and the coil-spring suspension system is fully independent. Brakes are power operated. The V8 164 b.h.p. engine transmits power through a drive train the parts of which arc oversize to afford a reserve of strength for arduous operation.
