Check the air suspension module for fault codes relating to the sensor on the steering rack Thumbs Up

That, or the lower UJ is seizing up

The air suspension control module is on the a-pillar up behind the dash on the driver's side. It's accessed from the footwell relatively easily.

When he says "check the module for fault codes" that means sticking a suitable reader in the OBD port. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
