Droney steering

Had my 90 for a month and it’s developing a few “characteristics” as they do!
At low speed and particularly when it’s cold the steering drones if I need to turn sharp (like a u turn or 3 point turn)
Anything simply I can look for? Been told possibly steering pin oil/grease, had a quick look at what’s involved and looks pretty simple to do.
Anything else it could be??

When at full lock?

Cheers

All three of my Defender TD5’s have moaned when on full lock or during low speed steering manoeuvres.
I’d love to know the solution if there is one!

Pretty much all the time when it’s cold but just nearer full lock when it’s warmer

full lock is oil pressure relieving as it cant do anything but increase once full lock is achieved

Sounds like it’s nothing much to worry about. Working my way round changing all the oils, bit chilly in the garage at the minute tho!!!!!

Is it a td5 and if so does it have the correct CCF pas fluid? assuming the def td5 is the same as the disco td5?

I always ease off a few degrees after I get to full lock, give the old pump an easier time.

+ 1 on the above.

Mine does this too so watching this thread. Assumed it was 'just one of those things'...

its worth jacking front end up and ensuring wheels will push from lock to lock smoothly but stiffly with drag link connected ,then freely with drag link disconnected,your checking pas box ,swivels and damper are ok,large tyres increase the pressure needed to steer especially when stood or moving very slow,you will allways get noise in full lock,but at other times its generally a sign pumps wearing, ive had occasions were box was needed,but usually its pump,its worth checking reservoir to see if oil is becoming frothy when steering is worked
