If the Morgan factory does do away with kingpins as has been suggested, what are we going to discuss on Talk Morgan then!

Exactly!
Can't see why it could so difficult to put gaiters around the rebound spring area which obviously is the weakest point at present. It would probably make both bushings and kingpins last at least double the average miles... whatever that is. Cars that runs on dirtroads would benefit most I assume. My hardchrome/Vesconite setup has been greased a few times only during 7500 miles and are in very good condition. I use DaveW's gaiters and fitted scrapers rings (seals) at the bottom end.
What I'm trying to say is that I agree with 'mph' above and believe the sliding 'hub/pillar' technology could quite easily be developed to perform and last better and longer... significantly so, by putting some hours into testing new materials and techniques (like many that's been put forward here on TM). Perhaps even a way of getting more for the money - from the factory's point of view - as well as the customers. I have always favoured evolution before revolution... but thats just me.
