Collected my 90 today, seems a real cracker, '91 200 Tdi in very good nick.
Only issue so far is that the steering seems very vague, it wanders all over the place and you have to work it to keep going straight. Not had a 90 before, is it a normal characteristic or a sign of a worn damper or steerin box etc?
Has 265/75/16 MT's fitted but was more or less the same on the standard rostyles and skinny tyres.

I had similar symptoms a couple of months a go, had th change steering box and the steering shaft u/js

A lift will do it, flat tyres, worn steering box or drag link balljoints, track rod balljoints less so. Worn Panhard rod bushes are a possibility.
Steering tracking, especially if combined with one of the above. Steering on a coil LR can be precise if it's set up right, Blue has a recno box, new balljoints and swivel bearings, tracking set parallel and a bit fo "tuning" on the steering shaft UJs to get them out of phase makes the steering pretty crisp.
