Inspect the front control arm bushings and perhaps the spring seats

Could it be the steering pressure low at idle, when raising the speed it then seems normal?

Looks like Edd China answers the question in his new youtube channel. At the 10 min 30sec mark

Great video... I like watching Edd. He's very knowledgeable & Wheeler Dealers just isn't the same without him, in my opinion.

To the original poster, it looks like there's a few things to check, according to Edd;

-Wheel alignment.
-Power steering fluid may need to be flushed/replaced.
-Check your tyres are good & that you actually have the correct ones fitted to your vehicle (including the correct offset alloys).

And make sure any wheel spacers are removed (if fitted) because they upset steering and suspension geometry

Hi John
Thanks for your reply
How would the oil low pressure keeps pushing the wheel to the extreme angle on each side?

Hi Kev
Thanks for your reply
what do you mean by offset alloys ?
The wheels are original, why do i need an offset?
