bang/clonk coming from steering?
Range Rover Blues:
Does it clonk as you turn the steering or when you are going round a corner?
hotdog:
my mate had the same thing and it was a snapped tooth in the transfer box

Yeah, Mainly on or near full lock. Ben
Range Rover Blues:
Then possibly a CV as they work harder on corners or a siezed transfer box viscous unit as the differential works harder on tight turns, this could manifest it'self as banging in the transmission if the resulting wind up is being released either by a wheel skipping or by mechanical damage.
Try jacking up a front wheel and in neutral with the handbrake on try to turn the wheel with a wheel nut wrench, it should turn very slowly, very, but if you can't turn it at all then the viscous is siezed.

The viscous unit was taked out and replaced with a centre locking diff, how do I check if it's a CV? thanks, Ben
