The reason I wanted to fit these bars is becuase my 2002 4/4 suffers from vague steering at times. It can sometimes feel like I'm driving a boat with constant steering correction needed. This seems to be more evident on uneven road surfaces.

The car itself has only done 4k miles (it was left idle in a garage for a long time before being passed onto me). I have been advised by another Morgan owner that the steering effect could simply be that the Kingpins and bushes are not properly bedded in yet, due to lack of mileage?

I have checked and both NS and OS Kingpins are working and not ceased.

So after lots of reading and research on this matter, I thought I would first try fitting Brake reaction bars and seeing if that helps. After all they are an inexpensive and highly recommended upgrade.

Does the collective brains of Talk Morgan have any other suggestions that I could also consider, and/or is the BRB's a good place to start (before I start having to shell out lots of cash)?

Thanks again.

I am not sure that any other brand of bar is going to be much better. Why not simply slip a washer under the king pin nut?
Also, I agree with Paul on checking the age of the tyres. Old hardened rubber can really mess up the handling, so if they are more than about 8 years old, it’s time to consider renewal.
