That one's got me. I'd suspect loose ball joints to start with, but if you've checked all that I'm at a loss too - it's something a steering boffin would have to see.
 
If it's not the obvious things you have already checked then it has to be a stuffed steering rack.
 
Turn the wheel Onlock to Onlock (hehehe) without the engine running, That will but the rack under a lot of strain and my show up what's going on.
 
Check the spline at the end of the steering rod to the Rack? thats the only place to move or the gear at the end of the steering shaft in the rack has come adrift.

thats me i'm out
 
i wonder if you parked next to a kerb and turned the steering while the wheel is hard against the kerb, and see if you get it to slip. if it does then you will be able to get someone to do that while you search or trace the problem.

So I found the problem today with the car up on the hoist, steering rack bushes are flogged out, can anybody check for me on the service manual for a thai built, if the bushes have a seperate part number coz the boys at bridgestone seem to think that the whole rack needs to be replaced which I think is crap,

Thanks.

As far as I can see it comes in a kit with new boots and all seals. Should be replaced user warranty no problem. Make sure it doesnt look like the car has been 4wding so they can't hassle you

Same answer. Nil stock.
Seeing as you are in warranty be a hassle. Get everything fixed. Get every bush checked. Down to rear wheel cylinders hahs
