whenever I stationary or moving, if I steer to the right more than about
What is the problem likely to be?

anti roll bar link or broken spring.
Could it also be a CV joint?

I thought if it was a ARB link, it would make a noise if I went over a pothole... I do not get a noise when I go over a pot hole.
I wondered about this... I thought the car had to be moving for the CV joint to make a noise? I get the noise when stationary simply by turning the steering wheel and this is with the engine turned off.
Probably the spring then.
Ah, no, I missed that (stationary) bit (doh).
Hmmm ... I will go with what Duncan said then, a spring?

p.s. My nephew parked up his 35k mile Fiesta the other day and after being indoors some time, heard a very loud 'bang' (similar to a car being hit). Long-short, the n/s/f road spring had just broken!
If you keep going over potholes, you'll f*ck up your steering.
Out of interest, what are the difference(s) in symptoms between:
(a) a broken front spring and (b) a siezed or collapsed top mount bearing?
My last car (a Touran) had a seized top bearing. Turning the steering wheel produced odd "sproinging" noises but no clonks.
I think the spring was "winding up" and then turning suddenly. Definitely not clonky though.
