The Lateral Link of the Oldsmobile 88 firmly maintains rear axle control, which customers say keeps their full-size sedan secure at speed. Every Oldsmobile 88 has a Lateral Link made from a hardened steel bar that joins the hub to the chassis, locking the side to side motion with the result that cornering loads spread smoothly and the tyre remains planted, a quality behind its legendary toughness and crisp handling. The same suspension layout shared by the various Oldsmobile 88 body styles noted in the period literature means that this rear Lateral Link is an easy fit. Therefore, it is a trusted choice when restoring or refreshing any old rear assembly. The Lateral Link's simple non adjustable design means fewer wear points and stronger long term reliability, but it also enhances the steering feel by centring the wheel hub throughout every turn and over rough pavement. With the rear track aligned by the Lateral Link, Oldsmobile 88 drivers experience faster turn-in, less wind sway, and more even braking. The safety of the Oldsmobile 88 is enhanced because the predictable geometry cannot cause sudden tail slide tendencies, and the car remains composed when it rains or on gravel. Reinforced welds, precision bushings and corrosion-resistant finish give the Lateral Link extra toughness to ensure it is able to shrug off decades of road grime and winter salt. Teaming up with the original coil springs and trailing arms on an Oldsmobile 88 chassis, the Lateral Link facilitates efficient energy transmission, reducing tire scrub and preventing fuel economy degradation.
