the swivels are fine everythings been polybushed, a frame ball joint replaced .
no play in any joints.. i m suspecting the steering box ? ive taken any backlash out of it .. still the same problem.. do i just go for it +swop the steering box ? any ideas on how to tell for sure .. also how good is the defender steering on long motorway trips are they normally hard work to drive or is it mines so bad .. thanks glenn

Have you increased your tyre pressures sound to me the are too soft I run 45 psi in the rears on my disco when towing solid as a rock no wandering,I know someone who claimed my trailer was at fault then he thought it was his vehicle so spent 400 quid on new bushes and shockers etc to find he only had 28 psi in the rears
