has any one else had a problem with their sj steering colum groaning? when turning??? quick fix?

What is it doing?

Mine squeaks they use nylon/plastic bushes in the column so then these go dry it can squeak.

You could try spraying some gt85 here and here to get into the bushes??

thanks scottie ill try that..................

when turning the wheel to full lock then back it groans/ whines

Have you got power steering fitted? if so have you checked the fluid level?

no power steering but is that sort of noise

Cool, Just check all the steering joints as well, the Ujs on the steering column in the engine bay can go stiff sometimes as well, never heard them groan before though.

try toping up the steering box with sae 90 if its empty as the seals maybe leaking

thanks tom ill try that too can u tell im new to the 4x4 scene yet lol

no worries fella happy to help we was alll in your position at one point , and im still learning!
