    Power steering damper

    I had heavy steering and just had the Power steering damper replaced, heavy steering now gone. Silly question time. 1.Is power steering damper the same as steering damper. 2. Have any of you had the same problem, heavy steering as was the damper?

    Steering

    It was the NS trailing arm bush that had a lot of play in it. Both bushes replaced have now been replaced and steering back to normal. Thanks for your comments.

    Steering

    I took air out of the tyres and running them on 35psi and still no difference.

    Steering

    Thanks. I've listed those parts mentioned by Tottot and name drop them at the garage. Yes the symptoms were before the service and parts changed. No prior to what I'm experiencing the steering was very solid and I was in full control. Theres definitely something wrong.

    Steering

    My defender is driving me nuts haha! This problem happened before its full service, new shocks replaced, four new tyres, and wheel alignment. All done recently. The steering still feels vague, especially when I get to 60/70mph. The vehicle feels like its wandering left to right. It never...

    How "fast" is your defender?

    70mph plus with ease. 2.4 110. I've been to France and Morocco several times, both long dusty road journeys of 11hours or so, driving between 70-80mph. I think you've always got to remember its still a defender.

    Alignment Readings.

    Can anyone explain these readings to me? Just had my wheel alignment done. The steering is much better, feels like the tyres are on the road. No more pulling to the left, however there still is the odd spot when the steering goes slightly light when on duel carrageways for a couple of seconds...

    Wheel Alignment

    No mine isn't that light. Its noticeable on motorways. The steering wheel notches to the left and it keeps going straight, but I correct it instantly. Steering is vague, scary! Hopefully Monday they will find the problem.

    Wheel Alignment

    The lightness only occurs when im driving. When static the steering is ok.

    Wheel Alignment

    I'd say the steering slightly moves in my grip to the left.

    Wheel Alignment

    Ok, I would like some advice please. My 110 started to devolop what I can only describe as light steering. You can only notice it on duel carrageways. Going in a straight line and when it feels like it, the steering becomes light, moves slightly to the left, flat spot, enough to notice and its...

    Steering

    Hi chaps, In the last three days ive noticed that when driving my defender (2012) the steering wheel veers to the left a little, like a flat spot, but tge vehicle doesnt. The steering is still very responsive. Also when I brake (not all the time) only when pressing the pedal firmer that the...

    Spinning noise

    Funny you mentioned handbrake. Just confirmed by mechanic that my handbrake drum had accumulated rust and was causing the spinning grinding noise. He showed me the noise occurring by quickly and gently lifting the handbrake whilst wheels spinning. Getting it all cleaned now on ramp.

    Spinning noise

    Had it out today to record the noise but it’s too quiet. It doesn’t do it from the word go. It can happen at any time during my drive. Tingy/Metalic spinning sound that goes in time with the engine either when accelerating or decelerating, with or without clutch down, and you’ll hear it more...
