Default Scooby trouble

I have a standard UK turbo of 1999 vintage.

When moving forward slowly with full lock on to the right, the front wheel feels like its off centre and the front end of the car bobs up and down.

This only happens when the cars been parked up for a while.

Does anyone know what it might be?

Not sure - have you tried jacking it up while at full lock and turning the wheel by hand? Should be able to see if it only does that when the weight's on it... Might be brake disk binding a little as well?

Sounds like either something on top of the strut mount, or possibly a failing CV joint. Does it tick or click whilst driving in a tight circle - if its bad it will jump every revolution of the shaft.

It's fine when driven in a straight line. It also seems to stop doing it after a bit of driving.
