Since I have had my 90, it has had what I can only describe as creaky steering which does very slowly seem to be getting worse. Have had a good check over all the steering components this morning which all look to be fine as far as I can tell.

It is not noticeable when the landy is doing any sort of speed, but mainly when parking at slow speeds where you may be doing lots of turning with the landy hardly moving. Worse when you have steered one way then started to steer back the opposite way. It can be felt through the steering wheel and it makes a sort of creaking sound and feels and sounds like it is coming from somewhere behind the dashboard rather than somewhere under the bonnet although that could just be the sound travelling.

Anyone else ever suffered with this and cured it or is it just another one of those 'normal' landy things??

Thanks James. Oiled and then greased the UJ's last night which does seem to have improved things quite a bit. How do you mean lubricate steering column after removing steering wheel??
