Now whats wrong?

Is it still in 4wd mode? This produces interesting sensations when going round corneres.

The Ark Royal is a small ship. Unless you mean the old one...

First thing is tyre pressures I'd say - tough sidewalls on some 4x4 tyres means they can be very flat without collapsing as obviously as a car tyre would.

Also do a visual check that you haven't got any crap stuck in the wheelarches or anywhere round the wheel hubs. When I came off the off-road course at Billing the front left was making a terrible noise. Fearing the worst I was glad to remove a piece of glass about the size of a 50p from the brake disc.

You could also jack up the offending wheel and check for excessive free play etc. Failing that get it to a tyre shop for an alignment check - does it freewheel straight or head for a ditch?

My help is, as usual, probably rubbish...

you haven't clouted the track rod, have you? sounds like it's toed out. bet you've got a bent track rod...

they can be straightened, but at the price that Paddock charge for a new one, 's hardly worth the effort. Check the ball joints as well, they can be bent too.
