Been bugging me this for ages. I expected my SJ to have a mega turning circle. My mums jimny has great lock and as a result, really good turning circle
My SJ is the worst I've ever driven. Normal or fault in the steering box?

Re: Turning circle
Not really sure. My SJ's turning circle is not as good as my work car, which is a MK4 Astra, but I wouldn't say it was bad. It's better than a Focus.
When I swing quickly to lock, it hits the stops with a muted metallic 'donk.'

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: Turning circle
That sounds reasonable. The TC of a Land Rover's got to be like, what, 50 feet?

Re: Turning circle
I'm reading that wrong . It was turning radius, so does that mean it's 33.3ft and 32.2ft. Found a London black cab taxi has a turning circle of 25ft.

Re: Turning circle
I think mines got a problem then. I can't hit any bumpstops on lock. It gets harder to turn the more lock I give.
