(Home) Noise on full lock

Help. My 1989 Royal Lounge 4x4 EFI makes a horrible grinding crunching noise on full lock. Under normal driving it is fine. What can the noise be? It is a metal to metal noise.

This was addressed not long ago but simply, the end stop (bolt) is hitting the stop and is dry. There should be a plastic stop on the bolt to stop the grinding noise. Either buy new stops or do what I do and glop both surfaces with grease.

Thanks Ian. Just had a look at my Townie and it has the plastic stops on the bolts so for now I have greased them but I will order new plastic stops from my local Toyota dealer as the old ones look worn.
