Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Rear suspension hanger. Safety watchpoint

On my Roadster the rear offside suspension hanger failed last year in Italy and was welded up.



It has just gone again after c 10k miles!

So I had Krazy Horse order me a new one. You can see how much beefier this is and how MMC have bent the plate to resist the torsional forces.


When it fails you still have damping form one side and the shock absorber rests on the chassis rail & exhaust so at first it isn't so obvious.. In my case on sharp right handers or bouncy roads I could then hear something touching.

If both were to fail I guess it could be more serious.
My advice would be to check both sides. It is obvious in the case of total failure as shock floats free of the brake drum but as it goes it tears along the bolt holes.

Graham when you are next at the factory can you let me know if the passenger side also has this upgrade or if the plate is flat. if upgraded I am tempted to replace that side also.
