Problem Turning Right!!
Went out offroading today. Did some gnarly rock tracks just north of Yeppoon.
Drove around for awhile and my steering was fine all morning. Then as I was descending a rock hill that wasn't too steep I had alot of trouble
turning the steering wheel to the right. And it felt like the brakes were grabbing on the front right wheel. Babied her down onto the flat and had a
look underneath to see what had happened.
Snapped these pictures.  Can anyone
advise what the problem was??? 
Any help appreciated.

Look closely - I think you may have a piece of gravel stuck in the suspension somewhere.

I think the cable tie holding the cable in place is too tight . 
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
