is it ok when in 2wd mode?if so then you could have a knackered front diff.also worth checking that the wheels are not touching the arches or body,put it on full lock and check visually

i also have a 05 l200 but the problem i have is that it has a great lock on a left hand lock but its very poor on a right hand lock i know that it has had a lower arm on the o/s and the threads on the track rod ends are equal on both sides and the steering wheel is straight when driving,any suggestions?
