Power steering going stiff after 20 miles or so
Hi, my power steering is ok for first 20 or so miles and then it starts stiffening up. There is plenty of fluid in it. Could it be a belt driving power steering pump or is it electric pump? Then after this I have to manually calibrate my transfer boxes ( roughly every third time). Is it related?
Every time I get in D3 I get quite excited at what new fault it will throw at me
Any help much appreciatedI have Landrover disease

Lower steering uj. Mine did the same. It warmed up and got stiff. Fine when it was cold. Kinda weird. If it has tight spots when you turn the wheela its the lower steering uj.
