Sagging springs appears to have been a global issue around 2010/11. There's plenty of reading on
TM and
GOMOG on this problem.
I have read in many places here about the weak rear springs, my 2011 4/4 has a habit of touching the overlong seat bolts down now and then.
Was the spring swap to 4 seater leaves a factory recall, or only done if the owner complained? If it,s a recall I'l check if mine was done. Is it an easy job? That or I had considered getting rear shocks with adjustable ride height, is that viable.
In Australia some cars were presented with or quickly developed a "lean" to the drivers side in some cases as much as 40mm due to poor quality springs.
This meant the car often bottomed out even breaking the toolbox tray and damaging the timber frame around the inner wheel arch.
My 4/4 (and others) did not have the 100mm minimum ground clearance as required by Australian Design Rules (2006) or meet Morgan specifications for that matter.
This proved even more of a potential problem for the +4 and the roadsters.
Our Federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport reacted quickly and effectively in getting Morgan to fix non compliant vehicles.
This was done at the request of affected owners.
Playing with the dampers or other suspension parts only masks the problem - better to fix the springs which are the issue.
