With the engine running it might be worth getting someone to wiggle the steering wheel,and check the steering box for excessive play.
Hopefully not that though. |

Oil the steering UJs? You mean the two between the steering column and steering box? How does the oil get into the joint? I agree that you should vigorously shake the steering and look for play. Otherwise look for any bent steering rods that are touching something else. You can pop off the tie rod ends and check them and the swivel bearings as well. 1995 300tdi Defender 90 P/UP 2011 Puma Defender 130 D/C 2000 300tdi Defender 110 P/UP 2015 Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE |

Yes the joints on the steering column.
Mine felt notchy so I just oil them occasionally. It might be the turbo drying out the top uj. |
