Here's how they did it https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/2 ... 1355089979
The "long ones" come in many different ends but install the same way

Those do not actually do very much to help with the steering. Mostly, what they do is if bushings and pins are loose, they reduce the intensity of the rattles. In some cases they might help steady things a little bit.

Bonjour.

Not a steering stabilizer. Not a Ford part. Of the 15 million model T's, none left the factory with those installed. It will not improve driving or fix anything. Snake oil.

[Craig Leach]

I think this was intended as a dampener for a Model T or maybe just a anti-rattle.
Some times we forget that the band-aid, bubble gum & hay wire fixes for model T fords was what blossomed into the aftermarket industry
that we have now & that's the reason we can buy the parts we need to restore & repair our T's today. Ford gave birth to a industry that he
hated & the ironic thing is it outlasted the model T but keeps them going still. Imagine a world today that you had to go to the manufacture
for repair & replacement parts?

Those are all band-aides to get around properly rebuilding a front end.

[John Codman]

I agree with those who say that they are a band-aid. If there is something loose enough to cause steering issues, the looseness needs to be addressed, not covered up.

There was a pair of those on my 27 Touring when we bought it in the early 60's from the original owner. Removed them, fixed anything that was worn and all has been good ever sice. One of the many items sold to Model T owners to patch up real or imagined problems.

Those are anti-rattlers. They are a band-aid for worn steering components (bushings, tie-rod bolts, kingpins, etc.) but don't actually cure anything other than reducing noise.

They are one of the worst things you can install on the front end of a Model T Ford.

They create wear marks on steering system components, such as the spindle arm and tie rod. Over time, they can create deep grooves.

I think twice I have seen front axle assemblies that had grooves worn so deeply that the tie rod broke!
I had a spindle arm that was worn a quarter of the way through one side (less than an inch from the tie rod pin). One of the few original model T parts I sent to the scrap pile.

Yes they are an interesting bit of history. Really best to not use them on the car. They make interesting wall hangers and conversation pieces.
