Hi All,
Have owned my 1999 +4 for nearly a month now and I have covered just under 800 miles,
I thought I would attempt to grease the front suspension today as planning a trip next week to Devon which will rack up another 300+ miles. (Weather dependent).
As this is the first time I've done this I had a look on gomog for info and managed to lube up successfully (I think), although lifting the damper plate was impossible with a pry bar so had to use a block of wood and a jack. Did this with the wheels removed so I could better see what I was doing and had to spend a good hour on each side cleaning a build up of grease and brake dust from everything.
The one shot oiler system has been removed by a previous owner and I'm now wondering if I should change to a hard chrome king pin and bearing instead of the damper plate.
Not wanting to do this unnecessarily if there is still life in current set up my question is how can you tell that King pins are worn ? The car has now covered 35800 miles and presume still on original parts. The steering isn't light, but as its the first Morgan I've ever driven wouldn't know if this is how it is or if it is tight.
Many Thanks in advance
Andy.
