Ovlov V40 pants steering

So the v40 is dying a bit. It’s got rattles where rattles shouldn’t be and the steering is like running a sausage through custard.

 

The rattles can be sorted with a bolt on and bolt off fix, but the steering.. looking for advice..

 

When turning it’s almost like it only wants to go in a straight line. Like it’s trying to reset to that straight, driving forwards way it loves so much.

 

It’s worse when turning right and doesn’t really matter if it’s warm or cold.

 

It’s like it’s fighting me when I turn, seemingly more so when I apply revs. It’s not as hard as if the pump wasn’t working which is leading me towards the rack but I really can’t be arsed doing that on the drive.

 

There is a new belt on the pump and the fluid doesn’t stink. No leaks anywhere.

 

Any advice? I was thinking one or both top mounts? No odd tyre wear.

 

Drives in a straight line brill

 

Any random ideas or experience appreciated

Toe-in makes it turn back to centre a lot quicker, enough toe-out can make them pull outwards so the steering tries to turn as far from straight as possible - that's fun to drive with.
