Blowing the cobs off..

just been for a nice Boxing day drive, up over the tops.. straight up cragg road from mytholmroyd and up over into pennines and back down through rishworth ect.. Blew the Christmas Cobwebs off ma Green betty..
Noticed tho that she was making a pretty loud grinding, slightly screechy sound when turning left "about half a wheels turn; so not a great deal" and at a good steady speed.. any suggestions??
Im thinking possibly some worn bushes on the track rods, how would i check?
can't be because shes been sat for a day or 2, cause it didn't disappear at all; "If-not" got worse...

cheers guys, and Merry Christmas!

theres no bushes in track rods only ball joints that should have no freeplay in them ,lubricate ujs in steering linkage to box check cvs by spinning wheel by hand when in full lock and jacked up ,check swivels by turning wheels lock to lock by hand and as for wheel bearings for free play
