Quite a loud noise on a right turn which to start with looked like on a lot of lock but now can start on beginning to turn and then disappears. Intermittent anyway. Greased the rack from the passenger side nipple. 12 pumps of grease/80EP oil I made up. Thought all good but then noise came back. Jacked up each wheel in turn (other on ground) and rotated wheel lock to lock, no noise or roughness.
Any ideas?

Check the security of the eye bolt in the chassis leg.
Make sure that there are no cracks radiating from the eye bolt hole through the chassis leg.

Re: Steering graunch/squeak
Not had chance to check eyebolts with the rain. Did try running back and forth in the drive turning full lock to lock and all quite. When getting the noise the car was more loaded with 2 passengers and a dog. There are clonks going over potholes(not always) when the NSF wheel goes over them. Also there is play rocking the NSF wheel top to bottom (none on OS) which looks to be the wheel bearing.
