The guide rods are pivotally supported on a base member. Inter-connecting the guide rods and the steering rods is a tension-compression rod capable of absorbing tensile and compressive forces. All of the elements of the torque support are provided above floor level.The tension-compression rod is constructed as a plurality of elongated sections, separated from one another by gaps. Located within the elongated sections are compressive spring bundles and a shaft bolt which is secured to supporting surfaces of the elongated sections. In this manner, compressive and tensile forces are cpable of being absorbed by the tension-compression rod. | |
