Is your classic no longer delivering the razor-sharp handling promised by the reviews penned decades ago? Is there just a bit too much disconnect between the tires and the driver? It might be time for a suspension refresh.
In an ideal situation, the only parts of the car actually…
You could write a book on Morgan suspension.
Getting good replacement parts can be a chore. In my old British sports cars I got along for decades on NOS factory parts but when those ran out we were left with repro parts, some of which were OK but some of which (particularly the first wave of Chinese parts) were total crap - people were installing what are called metelastic bushes (inner metal sleeve bonded to an out rubber section) on inner A arm mounts and having them soften and fail two or three years later vs. the factory parts that usually lasted several decades.
Beware after market springs too - one large parts house sells front coill springs as 'competition' but all they are is stock spring wire diameter with a coil taken off. That gets you a stiffer spring but also lowers the car - not what many people are looking for. I used a pair - but I had spacers made up to raise the ride height to stock. New with spacer on left, stock on right.
After we install the newly designed heavy duty rear coil springs, I suspect over time the upper and lower poly/rubber isolaters will need to be replaced.
