Steering wheel feels loose when on full lock

I've noticed that whenever I have to complete a three point turn or turn on full lock from a stationary position, the steering column seems to slip a little as if I've just passed a section of ice - does this sound serious, and does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, in advance.

Sounds normal and the steering is just kicking back when on full pressure at full lock.

Hi Jayster,

Check the locating lever (Tilt) under the steering wheel is in the Locked position.
It might be worth checking the column to body securing bracket nuts/bolts etc.

Cheers.
