What about this  problem: since 2 months I feel and hear rough road surfaces vibrating in my steering column, just behind the dash. There are no problems on smooth tarmac, but e.g. cobblestones or tiny potholes make a lot of noise. I feel no wear, the steering column bushes were renewed a few years ago, this year brake reaction bars are fitted, new disc brakes, etc. The kin pins, shocks (Koni's), front springs, incl rebound springs are just a few years old. The Morgan feels firmer as before, but the resonating feeling and noises are disturbing me badly. My agent replied me to check if he had some tools left behind, but that isn't the case, and should sound differently. Somebody has any suggestions? I thought maybe the unit with the steering column stalks is vibrating, but I don't know wether that's possible?!

Check that your tyres are not over inflated.

Have you checked the wheel bearings?

Check the nuts on the cross bar between your inner wings, right behind the radiator. They can slacken off and cause a rattle or knock.

The column bolts to the on the bulkhead. The panel can rust or the nuts get loose.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I will look at them one for one, and let you know!
Only one thing, because of the fact that it "feels plausible" to me: how can I check the steering lock, Richard?
