Response to Atwell Haines front end shake.
Atwell, the damper blade bronze piece fits between the bottom of the spring
and the top of the hub assembly. The blade decouples the spring from the hub.
As the spring compresses and expands it tends to impart rotation to the hub,
With the damper blade in between rotation of the hub is prevented. The only
adjustment to the damper blade is to ensure that there's absolutely no motion
side to side at the chassis end. Only sliding in and out motion is
permitted.
Do you have radial tires? Probably 16" bias belted tires. Are they balanced,
badly worn?
Even with good looking radial tires and all suspension surfaces fitting well,
some Morgan owners have found that the only cure to front end wblle was to
reverse the radial tires on their rims.
