Dave,
Welcome! This is indeed the place to learn about all Morgans, but especially the M3W as there is not a lot of solid information out there "in the wild" on these machines.
I guess because they have only been around for a few years vs the 110 for the original versions.
I see your car does not yet have the steering upgrade, aka "comfort steering kit". You've indicated the shocks eliminated the bump steer, but that's not really possible as bump steer is a product of the relative geometry between the control arms and the steering track rods. Different shocks may mask the effects of bump steer, but can't have a material impact on the geometry. Having driven machines with and without the steering kit, the difference to me was quite dramatic.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the welcome. I learn a lot every time I log in here.
Regarding the shocks, I expect you are right. I appreciate your comments. I haven't drive another 5-speeder so I have limited basis for comparison. I do know that before I installed the Ohlins bumps would make the vehicle jump sideways. Perhaps this effect was much less than on other 5-speeders without the steering kit. I can't say. Perhaps, as I have read, a July 2012 build with Suplex shocks has a different steering geometry than those fitted with Spax shocks. Then again, the change I experienced after mounting the Ohlins may have been due to improved performance of the more advanced (and expensive) shocks. If you ever make it out to the left coast, please drop. I would be delighted to have you drive it and make a first hand evaluation. At this point, I am entirely happy with the vehicle's road manners at present.
