Maybe Mark did my car? ;-)
Just confirmed my measurements; Tou-out was half a degree, changed it to a fraction toe-in (12sec). I did make a difference to the driving. In tight corners the steering used to feel a bit un-linear. I thought it was the steering rack. At higher speeds (80mph plus) it was a bit nervous. Now everything feels more planted and steering is slightly heavier.
Camber is negative 1,8 degrees left side and 1,25 right-side Cross-head and tubes look in top condition, I am the first owner, never hit a kerb or anything else. Tbh, I am sure the car was like this from day one. I have always noticed the negative camber and the steering has not changed until today.
So question is; how did I end up with this camber. Is it possible that parts from different width card were used? Are there different front axels with a different KPI?
Maybe worth noting that my car started in the factory as a normal roadster, but I specified the wheels from the roadster sport (15" black spokes) Initially Morgan said "no problem" but later they came back with a "width related" issue and wanted more money for the conversion. I believe these wheels were later standard on a roadster, but maybe need a different configuration?
Anyone any ideas how this could have happened?
In the mean time I still enjoy driving the Morgan even with 1+ degrees neg-camber. Today even more than before because of the changed toe-in set-up. Hoping the Toe-in will also (to some degree) take care of the tire wear pattern issue. My advice, get the spirit-levels and callipers out, you might be surprised. Cheers J
