It's possible that the steering shaft spline has slipped and jumped a spline on the box input. I've seen this before on a Sierra.

Cheers for replays guys I'm a little bit mechanically challenged so forgive me if this sounds dumb. If it is cv will it only make clicking sound in 4x4 no sound when hubs are freewheeling

Only if its worn, if its busted it will make very little sound and be super clunky....

Hi, I have the same problem but turning to the right is the issue. I can only get half a turn on the steering wheel right, but a full lock left.

What was the problem?

CV joint? Bearings?

King pins?

I don't know where to start looking.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the reply Watermouse.

Your right. It was the cv joint. My cage had completely shattered.

I would upload a picture but I'm not sure how :lol:

Thanks again
