Ok, another question from the newbie...

Will the adjustable Tie-rods for a mini that Classic Motoring sell (or anyone else for that matter) fit a Morris 1100?

...and if not, which is my guess, any good ideas about where to get replacements for mine?

Not sure off hand , how long are the M1100 tie rod's and the gap on the rear mount and we'll compare them to a mini one and see if they're in the ball park .

Hi Chris,
I checked on a Morris 1300 last night and they look quite different. Not just the length but also where it attaches to the lower control arm.

Looking at their website they only seem to supply adjustable tie bars to suit Minis, I can't see any to suit Morris 1100.

You will have to ring them - Andrew at minisport has skype if thats easier.

The big ticket items are usually what most suppliers have on their websites.

I will call...

At the moment we are surmising that this is the issue as the castor is out. We have -3 one side and + 3 on the other....

He is going to a steering place in a few weeks just to verify that it is steering and not chassis issues....
