Does this look right?! if it doesnt can anyone diagnose just from the picture?! I get a dodgy noise whenever I have to turn that direction when setting off also.

It is normal for it to angle but i dont think it should angle that much however i cannot be certain.
If it is wrong then ether your track rod arm or wishbone arm will need changing.
You say that you hear a noise when turning, that will be your power steering pump struggling, happened to mine, check your power steering fluid, is it at a safe level?

cheers fella, I dont think its the power steering because its only when turning right and at a certain degree, no other time. ive recently changed track rod ends so I'll look into wishbones, do the bushes go on them or is it best to just go for complete replacement?

yes the bushes do go, its worth replacing the whole lot for the price it costs mate

You running a standard ARB? You're about the height that would cause it to rub on the driveshaft when turning right.
-
yes dom I am! ive got to raise it for remap Wednesday so I'll see if the noise goes, that is the kind of noise id imagine that would make as well!
-
You'll have witness marks on the driveshaft if it has been rubbing
-
Dom you were right it was the driveshaft rubbing. Looks like i'll have to keep an eye out for a uprated arb.
