Evening gents. My jimny wont go on full steerkng lock. Nothings bent and i still have 3/4 lock to the right and 1/2 to the left. Went going across a field. Turned full lock left and there was a click about halfway through and then it wouldn't go full lock. I suspect something to do with the little motor unit thingy that the steering shaft goes into. Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like a cv joint has gone, hard to say if its premature as depends on traction/grip at each wheel, and the forces generated on each wheel whist offroad

CVs can break regardless of mileage. Mine has had a few CVs and only done 23000 miles. Its the driving style that breaks CVs.
