Having trouble with my steering when I steer to the left everything seems ok but when I steer to the right my steering seams to lockup after about 1 full turn it doesn't do it all the time just about 3-4 times a day, but it's not good when your trying g to go round a mini roundabout or similar! I thought it might be steering damper which I have removed this evening and it's still doing it...
Anyone got any ideas ??

I bet you have broken a cv joint on one side best thing todo is knock off both passenger side track rod ends and see what hub turns the least on right lock

Does sound like a smashed cv joint happened to me on way back from a landing day, struggled to get home with it hardly turning right I got a joint from a place near us called culmac but I guess euro car parts will do them

Well you were right people I've snapped my cv/shaft which might explain why I got stuck a lot at parkwood it's been playing up for a couple of months..and my kingpin bearing are solid so need them as well.
