Steering issues

[KERRSURF]

It's time I sorted out the front end of me truck.

I'd like a return to centre steering damper but can't find one in the uk so may just fit the standard uprated type (for when my 33's get fitted) next off I need to do my o/s cv joint ( making orrible clicking noise near r/h lock) I was gonna order 2 up and keep the other spare because I'm assuming both sides are as old as each other.
Next is track rod ends, too much play I think, idler bushes too.

I think I have a wee knock coming from the steering box, anyone experienced this. I only feel it coming back through the steering wheel link a gentle clunk when the terrain gets a bit rough.

I also have a wobble under braking from about 40mph, think this could be the cv joint. Bearing were recently done. I may need to inspect the calipers though.

Is there anything else I should consider replacing?
the balljoints look ok and recent mot had no advisories.

Any other bushes or the like need to be inspected?

After work is done I want to get it properly aligned, can anyone recommend a someone in Central Scotland to do this?

Hi,
I get the very gentle clonk through the steering on mine off road, I guess it's a little bit of wear in the box itself. I ran it by my local garage and they said it was no problem. At 240,000kms I can't blame it.
Wheel wobble slowing down could be a sticky caliper, but re-check the wheel bearings. If you used gen or good quality parts they should be ok, but I had terrible trouble with Milners bearings which were poo and were no better than the ones I threw out.
I did the lot on mine: rod ends, relay, damper, bearings etc. A worn relay can give wander and a slight clonk too. Steering stop bolts losing their caps can give a horrible graunching noise on full lock and nothing to do with CVs. Just stick a blob of grease on the bolt head every now and then.
