That is trueWith wheels off the round there is no load on the steering components so may not be a definitive test of the column.

The steering box seems ok when turning the wheel, the sound is actually more like a groaning noise, sometimes very pronounced and sometimes very quiet. Yesterday when I took it out it was dead quiet until I got back home, seems to be one of those things! I have googled it and it appears that this is not uncommon with the P38 and seems to be always left hand related....I cant help but think its the steering box.
If it was the pump or any associated part with providing power fluid then it would do it both ways.
Is it like the sound you get if you go to right lock fully?

I'm the one groaning at roundabouts usually, it always seems to be at slow speeds,(car parks, left turns etc) having said that, I guess I wouldn't be turning the wheel so far at 60mphRelated to roundabouts?!
