Why are Morgan still using these set ups of front suspension and lubrication systems, in my mind this should of gone years ago, 2 pieces of metal a tube=axle,stud, a shaft=Kinpin in a transition fit, requiring lubrication every 5 mins seems crazy. is this what you Trad owners really want from your car.

Good question.
In the past, buyers purchased Morgans to approximate a vintage experience, made credible as the cars had not modernized since the 1930s.
You would be wrong to equate vintage simplicity with low performance. Anything but. A car will to do far more with driver skill and interaction than technology. There is still a large school who believe that technology's goal is to lower the need for skill and broaden the sports car market for profit..with unhappy consequences to the sport.
Morgan simplicity used to encourage owner interaction with the cars. There are many anologies in other sports, but riding is as good as any. Do you know of a world class equestrian academy that does not require every student to physically care for their steed? Shoveling manure is thought to be a necessary part of becoming an accomplished rider. It is needed more frequently than Morgan greasing. Yet both tasks have the same goal.
