Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Steering kickback

Yes, in this video posted by Asbojohn, he was testing out how well the GoPro mount fared on rough roads, but you can also see his steering wheels response to said bumps.

Thanks Jays, M3W and Mi3Wheeler. I'd be very happy with the level of steering kickback in those 3 videos. Should hopefully be a straightforward suspension set-up issue..

Yep, I think Simmo and I both have the same problem, I can't think it is something that MMC would allow in a production car normally, as Simmo says, it is really violent over any sort of rough road, so I am sure that when the front end geometry is set up it will sort this out.

Simmo, do post back if yours gets sorted please, and let me know what was done?

Paul, will do. Seems strange that we both have the same issue on cars built at the same time?

A bit of a surprise that they are delivered that way

The geometry must be set at the factory...and then it is test driven and finally approved? My dealer also checked (and adjusted) the geometry on my Plus 4 before delivery (guess they do the same with a M3W). But still this happens When this is a safety issue I hope it is picked up by the factory.

Tyre pressure and wheel centre bolts are I guess already checked.

Hope you both have it solved a.s.a.p. so you can start enjoying the full potential of your lovely beasts

I don't see it as a problem, indeed its a safety feature as it stops you falling asleep at the wheel.

OK, I might have had one of my rare grown up moments

Went back to my Dealer today to try there demo car back to back with mine. There was a big difference in kickback so there is definitely something wrong with mine - we're waiting for some feedback from the factory on how best to diagnose and fix...

On a more positive note it was interesting to hear how much better the bevel gearbox noise is in my later car compared to Allon White's Demo so look like they've made good progress with that.

Despite the steering issue the car is still fantastic fun and was an absolute hoot on the wet roundabouts through Milton Keynes on the way back home. The Aero screens also do a great job of diverting downpours over your head - as long as you keep moving at a reasonable pace!!

Interestingly, I phoned the factory today to find out if there was a fix for the kickback problem, but I couldn't get passed Anita, the receptionist, who more or less said that she wouldn't even ask anyone at the factory, but that I should go through my dealer, which is fine, except, I just know that he will have to phone the factory for advice. A little irritating to say the least!

I have the same issue with the receptionist at my doctors!
