Clicky Steering

[Delboy]

Seem to have developed a clicking sound when i turn the steering wheel, coming from underneath which disappears if i lift it up on jack stands. Thnking it could be the steering box. It is leaking slightly but nothing major. Any ideas gratefully recieved and a slap in the head to the first person who mentions steering stops.

Mine didnt click it just pushed oil out of the top seal. You can buy an additive which helps expand worn seals for power steering.

is there a UJ anywhere along the column? 3rd gen one is a bit ropey made of plastic so could be something along those lines?

I think there maybe a knuckle near the steering box.

It's your turn indicator relay clicking.

I reckon it may be on of the track rod ends breaking up. When you lift it on jacks then the steering drops down and they are at a different angle. Get someone to turn the steering lock to lock with the engine running and the surf on the ground, get underneath and see if you can locate the sound.
