All the 1941 models had the Packard Safe-T-flex front suspension of similar design though not exactly identical between the juniors and seniors, different springs, knuckle pin bearings, probably shock absorbers, front end alignment specifications, etc. So they handled much the same though the steering of the 160/180 series was a tad heavier because of the tire size, weight over the wheels, and the fact that they shared the same steering gear box ratio. They are all very nice handling cars, as good or better than most any American car of the era.
