The steering is stopped by one of the nuts that holds the backing plate onto the hub.
If you look at the back of the hub there are a load of the 12mm headed bolts going all the way around the hub.
One of them stops the steering turning any further

If you have a look around the steering linkage the adjuster is quite easy to spot, its a bolt and locknut.

well that explains it! the backing plate has rotted away on that side and the passenger side is close to the end. i was going to fit new ones when i stripped and cleaned the front hubs.
cheers for the help everyone
