The bushes fit in the stub axle tubes, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the stub axle tube. As they do not fill the entire length of the tube, a grease reservoir or "grease holding area" is formed between the two bushes. As the stub axle slides up and down the kingpin, this reservoir  greases the kingpin (and therefore the bushes). The stub axle has a grease nipple exactly adjacent to the middle of this reservoir to service and fill this area periodically.

Sometime in late 2006 (?), the Works abandoned the Devol bushes and returned to using phosphor bronze as bush materiel. However, these are different from the pre-2002 ones that had a solid inner surface. This version of the bushes have a large groove carved inside that allows grease flow. There is a little lip remaining at the end. This lip is supposed to stop grease exiting the assembly through the groove.  Obviously, the lip requires the bushes to be installed at only one sense..with the lip at the bottom of the stub axle tube for the lower bush and the lip facing up for the upper bush. Facing the bushes in the wrong direction will block the grease that should fill it and allow the entry of grit rather than grease into the groove.
 

N.B. There is also a concern that if/when the thin lip wears away, the grease will exit it's reservoir with the pumping action of the suspension requiring more frequent greasing. These bushes should never be used with mild steel kingpins.

Other than these codicils, the greasing method is simple. The Morgan Manual recommends 1000 miles for them and here they are right.

Greasing can be done with the car on the ground or on jack stands. A one hand "pistol" greaser can be used. (When I am home, I use a powerful electric grease gun equipped with a flex hose. The device effectively creates an extra hand which makes the job easier.) The grease nipple angle can make it hard to properly center the grease gun but the angle of the grease nipple can be changed to suit can be or, alternatively buy an angled nose for your grease gun. A slight angle will do.

1. Turn the steering wheel until you have the best angle at the nipple,

2. Pump until the grease flows out under the damper plate (which sits on the stub axle shelf.). (That takes a lot of pumps!)
  

. Turn the steering wheel and do the other side.

4. Clean away any excess with a rag and, if necessary, brake cleaning spray. If any grease gets on your adjacent brake rotors, the effect on braking and steering is dangerous.
 

WATCHPOINT 1 I have received many notes lately on the difficulties owners are having pumping grease into the stub axles in front. At first I thought it was the grease gun they chose, but I soon found the problem was even more basic. Many owners change the stub axle grease nipple (zirk) for angled ones which allow an easier time fitting their grease gun onto it. Sadly, they do not notice that the threaded portion of the Morgan grease nipple is short..shorter than most available. When they fit the new nipples they often thread them until they are forced into the kingpin. This blocks the flow of grease despite the use of eye-popping pressure. The front gets little of its needed grease feed and the kingpin can be damaged.

WATCHPOINT II Seized Kingpins Morgan kingpins can seize. This happens more often with; 1.  DEVOL cars 2.  Those left in long storage and little usage 3.  Those with improper front end installation..poorly aligned bushes or an improper clearance between bushes and kingpin. When Morgans seize in the front, the suspension is effectively eliminated, severely prejudicing the comfort and handling of the car.  The front end should be tested for seizure each time it is greased. This is a simple procedure.  Place a trolley jack under the middle of the crossmember. Jack up the car while watching each stub axle assembly in turn. Do to springs compress? Or does the car simply rise without the springs compressing?
