Default steering issue on 91 classic

I took the plunge and got myself a 91 Classic today. One issue , so far, seems to be some looseness or swaying of the vehicle on the highway - seems to be somewhat intermittent at higher speeds. It definetly made the drive back a bit uneasy. Any thoughts?

Default RE: steering issue on 91 classic

Ok so I've been doing some research and came across this - which begetsthe question at the end:

If your steering feels even a little loose, your Range Rover steering boxes may need to be periodically bled. This is the first thing to check. Tiny bubbles have a tendency to collect in the steering box. New fluid and a thorough fluid-letting of the system has been known to do wonders in many cases. The power steering unit uses a standard Dexron IID fluid. [align=left]Atlantic British has found that installation of a new standard or premium gas steering stabilizer* has done a great job in removing the "shudder" in the steering. If you are having problems with steering shudder, bleed the system. If the problem persists, look to the steering stabilizer - before getting involved with a full front-end rebuild. A new stabilizer may be all you need. Atlantic British offers a *premium Bilstein Steering Damper (# 6497B) and also a standard Woodhead Steering Damper (# 6497) [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]How does one bleed the steering box ? And what do they mean by a thorough fluid-letting? How do you do that?[/align]
