Dear all.
I know this must be an old chestnut, but here goes. As a trained aeronautical engineer, I would like to think that greasing our simple suspension system should be easy ?
I have owned 3 Morgans and they have all been pre 2000 with damper blades. Every 500 miles I simply jack up the car, remove the wheels and purge the top and bottom grease nipples with my trusty Wanner grease gun, then wipe off any excess and Bob's your uncle, UNTIL I found this the other day -
https://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/Greasing1950to2000.html I had no idea about this advice to lift the damper plate but tried it yesterday. Having managed to partially lift the plate, it certainly looked pretty dry and it took 10 or 12 pumps to get some grease to exude from between the plate and stub axle. It has certainly improved things as the slow speed steering is definitely lighter. So unless I'm missing something, why don't we all know about this, or perhaps you do ??
Take care and cheers, John.
