Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Greasing My nipples !

There were a couple on the back axle for the hub bearings on my 1993 +8 which you may have.

These are not on my 1999 +8.

This changeover probably came about when they changed from Salibury to BTR axles.

There are two more, one located at each end of the Salisbury 7HA axle.

They do not require frequent greasing as they are designed to keep the axle oil from seeping out and onto the brake backplate, shoes and drum. The grease is retained by a felt seal and it is easy to damage through over enthusiastic greasing.

I forgot the damper blades need checking for wear, a good clean on the working surfaces and regrease.

Nobody has mentioned the grease nipples on the track rod ends, drop arm and I am sure there is one more in that vacinity on my 92 plus4.

You know how it goes "another day another nipple" quite interesting historically how even on Morgans they are slowly reducing in numbers.

p.s. probably one on the handbrake cable.

Yes, I missed one last week prior to the MOG15 trip. I felt a right tit!

It would be easy to go ber zerk on here without a modicum of salt

I have a 2014 plus 4, how much grease do I use or when do I know I put enough in?

Until you are comfortable with the greasing of the front suspension, I would advice removing the front wheels, so that you can easily see where the grease is coming out, how much comes out and how close to the brake disk the grease could spread.
When there is enough, grease will ooze out just above the stub axle when you grease both the top nipple and the bottom nipple.

Do not forget to carefully clean off any excess grease ensuring none gets on the brake components.
Use axel stands once the car is jacked up.
Once you have done the greasing a couple of times it will be a simple job.
