The Mitsubishi Pajero Owners Club®

Hello everyone, hope you are all well and safe.
Wasn't very sure where to post this so decided to do it here. I drive a 2004 Pajero that's clocked 321000 KMS so far. The ride is smooth and quiet except for one small problem.

I hear a rough grinding noise that literally vibrates the whole car when my steering is slightly deflected in either directions at very low speeds. Say for instance I am parking my car and that requires maneuvering around quite a bit. When I do that, I can hear the grindings. This happens especially after a long drive or a high speed drive. I live in the UAE and the road I drive back from work allows for a speed of 140km/h. After driving at 140 for quite some time and getting to my parking, I hear the grindings when turning the steering in either direction. The noise doesn't come up when the steering is straight.

I feel the speed and distance has something to do with it. If I were to drive it a kilometer early morning at a low speed, I wouldnt hear the sound very noticeably.

Hope I am making enough sense for someone on here to help. Apologies  :(
