But, I hardly ever manoeuvre on full lock if I can avoid it and I was reversing too.
Manoeuvring on full lock (at very low speed) should not do any harm to the car should it, Paul? I pretty much do this via a three point turn every time I drive away from home.
P.S. Good to see the 'old school' avatar back.
I guess not (manoeuvring) but you are putting max strain on everything....which at my age I prefer to avoid...

My car has always suffered from sideways slip when accelerating forwards out of side roads but ---- recently when reversing or turning in to parking spaces the slip is so great that its like a banging coming through the floor. Does this sound like its soley down to colder tyres and harder rubber or a fault?
every managed to get an answer from OPC on this?

Actually disappeared when I replaced my wheels with my winter set with winter tyres. Tyres much softer and didn’t skitte r sideways. OPC promised this would be the case.

Are your winters narrower also?

If it's banging rather than just the scrubbing of the tyres at full lock, it's almost certainly the start of a transfer case problem/failure. It probably goes away with smaller/narrow winter tyres as they generally have less grip and put less strain on the transfer case.
Try putting the car in off-road mode when it's warm and reversing slowly on full lock, if you here a banging/knocking, it's almost certainly the start of a transfer case problem.
