Hi Hughesy,
Thanks for the reply. Tyre pressures are ok. I get a binding noise which slightly vibrates through the steering wheel at parking speeds! Ball joints all seem ok. Replaced track rod & bj's,& watts linkage bushes on back axle about 6000miles ago. Jacked up front wheels last night, no play on wheel bearings, & steering rods move ok. steering uj's seem ok. there is 3" play before the road wheels turn (with the engine off.) thanks macdisc
