1934–1938 Chevrolet NORS Houser No. 48 Knee Action Shock Radius Arm Adjuster Kit
Available for sale is a New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) Houser No. 48 Knee Action Shock Radius Arm Adjuster Kit, designed for 1934–1938 Chevrolet passenger car applications equipped with Knee-Action front suspension systems. This rare vintage suspension service kit is an important component for restorers working on early independent front suspension Chevrolet vehicles.
During the mid-1930s, Chevrolet introduced the innovative Knee-Action (independent front suspension) system, which significantly improved ride comfort and handling compared to earlier solid-axle designs. Models equipped with this system require precise suspension geometry and properly functioning radius arm and shock linkage components to maintain correct operation.
The radius arm adjuster kit plays a critical role in the Knee-Action suspension system by helping maintain proper alignment and adjustment of the shock and control linkage geometry. Correct adjustment ensures stable steering behavior, balanced ride height, and consistent suspension movement under road load conditions.
Over time, original components in Knee-Action suspension systems can wear due to age, road stress, lubrication breakdown, and corrosion. Common symptoms of wear include loose steering feel, uneven ride characteristics, suspension noise, and improper wheel alignment.
This item is offered as New Old Replacement Stock (NORS), meaning it was manufactured as a vintage service replacement kit and has never been installed. The Houser No. 48 kit represents a period-correct service solution used during the era for suspension adjustment and repair.
Unlike modern aftermarket replacements, vintage NORS suspension kits are valued for their originality, correct engineering approach, and compatibility with factory suspension systems. They are especially desirable for restorers aiming for historically accurate pre-war Chevrolet restorations.
For collectors and restoration specialists, maintaining proper Knee-Action suspension geometry is essential for both drivability and authenticity. This adjuster kit helps ensure that the suspension operates as originally designed by Chevrolet engineers.
As original Knee-Action suspension service components become increasingly rare, kits such as this Houser No. 48 adjuster remain highly sought after by antique Chevrolet enthusiasts and restoration professionals.
