It may be the heat shield on the turbo up pipe fouling the steering knuckle... not that uncommon a problem, but one you need to get seen to quickly. Easy fix...just needs to be welded back in place.

yeah, i'd be getting onto that right away, from memory there is only one bolt that holds it to the steering rack, kinda like the same connection as a motorbike kickstart, even if the bolt is loose & in place the nuckle it won't come apart but as soon as that bolts out is can slide off
