RHD Truwsteer® Brand new 4 Bolt Steering box
24 month Warranty as standard

This is the Upgraded design to the original unit which had the external pipe and also had a much more bulkier, unnecessary of a design. With our steering box being designed in 21st century we have been able to make this unit less bulky and with no external pipe but still fit and work exactly the same as replacement to the original Land Rover units. As these use the latest technology in both design and manufacture, these also do feel tighter on the road with less freeplay which improves the overall drive of your Land Rover

Unlike any others on the market these are a much better design reciprocating ball type steering box. The advantages of this over just the original type worm gear box is that the internal threads inside are filled with ball bearings that recirculate through the gear as it turns. The balls actually serve two purposes: First, they reduce friction and wear in the gear; second, they reduce slop in the gear. Slop would be felt when you change the direction of the steering wheel -- without the balls in the steering gear, the teeth would come out of contact with each other for a moment, making the steering wheel feel loose. As these use the latest technology in both design and manufacture, these also do feel tighter on the road with less freeplay which improves the overall drive of your Land Rover.

This is exclusive to us which we have had designed to eliminate the vulnerable external pipe. This external pipe has been built internally into our casting. When Land Rover originally designed their box this oil way was missed out of the casting on initial design so to save the expensive cost of re casting the main casing, they just made this oil way external via a steel pipe as a cost saving exercise. However we have had this steering box designed as Land Rover intended all those years ago so this just runs internally via an internal oil way. This means there 2 less threaded joints to leak and also no external pipe which can get damaged or flattened and therefore either leak or block the fluid. A much better design!

Fits:
All RHD Defender models 1983-2016
All RHD Discovery 1 models 1989-1999
All RHD Range Rover Classic models 1971-1996

This is not to be mistaken for a reconditioned unit, this is a complete brand new unit that is available as an outright purchase with no messing about with surcharges and sending your old steering box back etc.

Also being brand new, there is no need to worry about the quality of a "Reconditioned" steering box. Over the years we have fitted many reconditioned steering boxes (as new ones have always been so expensive) and it has been pretty much pot luck whether you get one that works without leaking. So no need to worry if the re con company has properly re chromed the inner shaft or replaced all the wearing parts.

This replaces the original Adwest 4 bolts steering boxes as well as the earlier 3 Bolt and 6 Bolt steering boxes.

These do not come with drop arms so you will need to swap over your old one or fit a new one.
On Discovery 1 models they use a solid drop arm with no wearing joint so is nearly always ok to swap over.
If you do require a new one, we have them as part number NTC9236

On Defender models they use a drop arm with a ball joint which are often worn so we would recomend while you are at it, replacing with new. The part number for the RHD Defender drop arm is QFW000020.

The tightness of the drop arm nut needs to be done to 176Nm and must be re checked after use.

As with any component such as steering or brakes etc, the steering box must be fitted in accordance with what Land Rover instructs and it is recomended to be fitted by a professional.

Box Dimension - 40cmx31x20cm - 15kg

Important Fitment Note

This is an upgraded design by Truwsteer®. As part of the design a threaded hole for one of the steering box pipes is in a slightly different position to the original Adwest steering box. It has been moved inwards by about 15mm. When fitting to Defender models you will need to bend over one of the power steering pipes to align with the threaded hole on the power steering box. The photo above showing our steering box in place, shows the metal pipe and how it is bent over. It is pretty straightforward to do when fitting.

It is not required to do this on Discovery models as the ends of the power steering pipes on these models are rubber so flexible to pretty much any position.
