.... Fitting an independant front end to the current chassis, which we all know can twist doesn't make much sense without attention to the chassis and the rear suspension.
Call me pedantic Dave - but we've already got an independent front end, haven't we - strictly speaking? I'm no expert, but I think it's the lack of
compliance of the existing setup which is the issue (and possibly the limited amount of wheel travel), wouldn't you say? Maybe it's the combination of a stiff, non-independent rear suspension, a rigid frame, and an independent front (albeit of limited articulation) that causes the chassis flex of which you speak?
To be honest - this being my first experience of Morgan ownership - I've been more than pleasantly surprised by how well the Roadster suspension works
on good roads, and by just how involving the driving/handling experience is. But I've also been caught out by just how unsettled it can get on some surfaces. No wonder my horn push repeatedly fell out on my first drive up to Dartmoor!
Maybe the new rising-rate (is that right?) springs will make a difference. It'll sure be a lot cheaper than a newly-engineered ally tub with unequal wishbones and all the rest of it - not to mention re-designed wings to accomodate all that extra travel!
