Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Steering Damper. 2004 Roadster

Just out of curiosity I put a damper on a few weeks back with the goal of reducing the feedback through the wheel. Thought if I didn’t like it I could always stick it in the for sale section

I had no shimmy or wobble. The front end was well behaved with its SSL mod and almost ‘normal car’ like. But the roads are so bad these days driving has become more like off-roading. If the roads were perfect I don’t think I would have bothered. Pleased to say driving is a little more relaxed now with some of that unwanted energy gone. I don’t have to grip the wheel so tight in anticipation of the next surprise. Can’t say I noticed much difference at slow speed iether and there is still enough feel for me.

As always, SimonH is the man……


And it was reassuring to see the damper came with a strengthened plate, given the potential problems discussed towards the bottom of this page.
