   I've got a problem with the steering when on full lock. If/ when the car is on full lock and I drive forward or backwards it bumps a lot as if something is not straight e.g driveshaft? Anyone know what this could be?
   
   Thanks!

   Is your car lowered? get it jacked up and have a look if anythings catching on full lock

   Does it do this when going around roundabouts?

   More than likely catching on something then.

   Could be anything, you wont know until you get it up and get someone to turn the wheel...
   Is it coming from one side or both?
