Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Finally I have a smooth steering.

Now the steering functions largely smoothly and evenly. I thought about the fact that due to the height adjustment of the steering wheel there must still be a Ujoint in the driver's compartment. This Ujoint is existing and it was not in line with the connection of the second shaft. Here there is no forced guidance of the two shafts. So you can put them together wrongly twisted if you do not care.

First UJ behind steering wheel.


Together with this second UJ the forks must be in line.


The following shaft has twisted forks and this must be the case because it is a combined W-Z configuration. With this shaft, its twisted forks are deliberately forcibly guided - pressed at one end and at the other end on a rail that dictates the centering, you can't go wrong with this shaft performing its function.
See picture 3 below.


Here is the full explanation.

This „twisted forks“ shaft is connected to the last shaft which leads to the steering gear. This connection has to be adjusted again so that the forks match (in other words also here you have to pay attention to the same fork orientation because it is freely rotatable when you plug it together).

I suspect that the factory did not pay attention to the alignment of the fork of the first shaft from the steering wheel to the fork of the second shaft. That's why the peaks of the force which lead to increased wear and tear. You just have to connect it correctly and at the end you have to put the steering wheel in a new alignment. Now I am happy. It is worth to check the aligment if you think you have an edgy steering feel.
