Frequently asked questions

What is the NTC8478G steering shaft assembly?
The NTC8478G is the steering shaft assembly with upper and lower universal joints, connecting the steering column to the steering box on the Land Rover Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. It transmits steering movement through two joints. Part number NTC8478.
Where does the steering shaft fit?
The steering shaft runs from the base of the steering column to the steering box input shaft on the Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic, with a UJ at each end to clear the engine bay. It's the linkage that turns your steering into box movement. It's a steering safety component.
What are the signs a steering shaft needs replacing?
A worn steering shaft typically shows as play at the wheel, knocking on turns, and stiff or notchy universal joints. On the Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic the UJs wear with age and water ingress. Because it's a steering safety part, replace it once free play or roughness appears.
How do I confirm this steering shaft fits my vehicle?
This steering shaft fits the Discovery 1 (VIN HA002272 to LA081991) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1991 to VIN HA610293; 1992-1994 from JA610294 to LA647644). Check your VIN falls in range before ordering. Part number NTC8478.
