Hi Gaius
I too was appalled by the amount of bump steer and measured .675" with only 1' of droop and 1' of bump.
It certainly keeps you on your toes trying to avoid all the pot holes and drain covers.
As I understand from a previous thread and a phone conversation with Suplex, they are developing a replacement front spring and damper set for the car.
Not soon enough I say.

I too would be very interested in a kit to sort out the bump steer that ruins the otherwise great driving experience of my M3W. Not sure how this would be for warranty continuity of my one month old car though? I would like to think that Morgan will answer my complaints and provide me with a car that steers at least as well as the demo I drove 18 months ago. I have a feeling they will go into denial, we shall see. Does your kit retain the Spax shocks and springs and what sort of price Mogic? Although the Spax are not brilliant, I would say that the geometry of the suspension is the main cause of the problem rather than the spring rates and shock absorbers. I am no expert but the Suplex kit solution may mask the problem rather than sort it if it only changes the springs and shocks?

I am looking at doing exactly this. When do you think you will be able to share your approach? I would be glad to pay for a kit if it does what you say. Do you have it on the car? Kevin

Hmmm, I am struck by the silence from the factory on this tread.
Come on factory guys let's fix this and move on ASAP.

As I understand it, Williams are also looking into ways to reduce the bump steer on 5 speeders.

I spoke to Williams a couple of weeks ago about this, and what I think they are developing, slowly, is a machined mod. to raise the track rod above the existing steering arm, however, until we hear more I can't vouch that this is exactly what is happening. They do have race experience, which would suggest that they will know a bit about getting the suspension set ups right!
I wait with anticipation to see what happens.
It's great that we have a few people working on this now, as sooner or later a mod will be found that works.
BTW, I do believe that the factory staff read this forum from time to time, but I don't expect to see a reply anytime soon.

I would certainly be interested in a kit that fixes the steering issues, warranty or no. r
