Hi all

My discovery 2 steering is sticking on full left lock and is hard to get it to come back, it's jamming to the point you can't force it and have to rock the steering to get it to release. Video attached. It's also making a crunching/ banging noise as I try to get it to release.

It only does it when the wheels are on the floor, if you lift them up the steering is normal.

If I disconnect the back steering bar it still does it when turning just one wheel.

So far I've
Replaced steering uj/ lower column
Power steering pump (leaking)
Top and bottom ball joint on n/s - hub is nice and free
Tried steering without damper on
Tried steering without n/s half shaft in

The steering box was replaced as part of the disco having a new chassis under it. I bought it with a rotten chassis so I never drove it so can't say if it did it before or not.

I'm not sure if theres anything in the box that could cause this?

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
 
Fault is in the steering box, its been over adjusted to take up the freeplay.

No vid attached pal.
 
Thanks Kev
I'm not sure why it won't upload! I've tried a shorter version too but no joy
One thing I've noticed is when you roll forwards slightly and steer it comes of slightly easier. Would that indicate box too?
