Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Cross head out of whack?

Am hoping I don’t need to replace it, but we shall see. I stripped down that side last night and put the kingpin back by itself to show just how off it is.



Am certain the lower tube fitting is rotated too much clockwise. I also suspect it’s bent backwards. Finally I suspect the upper mounting plate is also out of whack, perhaps rotated a bit too counterclockwise. I think my right side does have a castor angle of 4 degrees but I’ll confirm that this weekend.

I will try and figure out some absolute reference points on the frame, and take measurements this weekend to see if I can figure out exactly what’s off and by how much. Hopefully can repair with some cold bending. If it’s more than is reasonable, replace it is. Anyone tackle that job? What’s it like - a good thread somewhere on TM?
