Having a bit of nightmare having decided to sort out the rather crap left and full lock - it being about 20% larger turning circle than turning right. The M12 hex bolt and locking nut were bent but effectively stopping the left turn (by stopping the RHOS wheel travel. So I removed the bolt (tried to adjust it after a couple of weeks soaking with easing oil - the head sheared). Upon extraction, the M12 was bent about 30 degrees at about the point of the locking nut.
Fitted anew M12 bolt & nut - started to make adjustments to get the left turn a bit tighter and after two adjustments found the new bolt bent such that it was sliding down the face of the axel flange. Are these 'stops' some high grade steel bolt ? Is there a landrover part No ?
Im sure Ive seen picture of these hex heads stopping against a steel plate fitted to the flange around the axel ends ? Nothing on my 110 TD5 2002.
Image below shows what came out after chewing the end with a pair of gilbows best (head having sheared off). Slightly concerning the power steering can bend the thing without me feeling anything.
As things stand, Ive no stop on the off side - no more m12 fixings.
