I have ordered some more bushes, so will be able to help in a week or so.

Thanks, ill be after one

Mary Morris - There is no bush at the right hand end of the rack as the rack rod as it rests directly in the pinion. However on the left hand end it has a nylon bush that breaks up overtime and poor road surface.

What you describe is exactly the noise you get.


Ahh i see, thanks for the Info ...

I take it these are the end bushes in the steering rack that guide the rack itself? I have just found mine are non existant and when driving knocking is very loud as rack is jumping about in the housing.

Not many Marinas down this way so a rare sight here.

Hi, im located near Battle/Hastings area.

Ahh yes, thank you, we attend hellingly and both laughton shows every year. The marina was brought to most of them before running issues came along.

Thanks for the replies, i should probably start a thread in the members section? I share it with my brother and our plans are to get it on the road, tinker and enjoy! We own quite a few other cars which weve modified but we plan to keep this original but dont mind the odd oem+ part and i guess also ...

Hi all, I'm Thomas and have a 1978 1.3 Special in the south east. "Mary" the morris has been in the family for around 15 years now but has been stood outside and inside for around 5 years due to running problems and not having the time. My brother and I inherited it from our late grandfather 3 years ...
