It was unusual and interesting to see a question on Morgan cars. As always your response got to the point. I have owned, at various times three Morgans since 1959. In addition to your comments, lubrication to the central area of the sliding pillar front suspension is provided by pressurised engine oil through a manual switch. Synthetic oils are not an ideal pillar lubricant, plus owners over-enthusiastic use tends to blow gease out of the top and bottom grease points. The pillar/King pins on my current car were changed at 30,000 miles. These were replaced with Hard Chrome King Pins. The pressurised lubrication system removed and replaced by an oil nipple requiring an occasional shot of 140 or 90 EP oil). At 80,000 miles replacement kingpins are fine. May be why Morgans last 100 yrs. My first car is still being raced in speed hillclimbs after 50 years.
