Step 3 will be to replace the king pins and bushes (if the result here is still unsatisfactory then onto step 4)

Step 4 will be to fit the SSL kit. I'm a tad concerned about the efficacy of the SSL kit with the plus 8.

Does this seem reasonable or fundamentally flawed?

thanks for your input chaps

Have you read this Gary

Rebound Springs

Quote
SUMMARY

Until the question on just what element is actually necessary to improve your front end, whether it be;

1. Simple attention to correct the anomalies that have developed over time, be they a function of poor maintenance or uncoordinated parts.

2. Steering races. (available from many sources from 70£ to 160£

3. Shorter rebounds. (simple mod - costless for the capable)

4. A SUPLEX KIT with a rising rate progressive spring system, adjustable ride height, shortened rebounds, new dampers, steering races and the risk of needing steering dampers thereafter at 1000£ +

Hesitate before making your Morgan more complicated. Personally, I am not against improvements, especially those that do away with the extraneous. (I think of them as distilling one's Morgan!) Simplicity is the Classic's most charming virtue, acting as the principle incentive to full owner interaction.
