Frequently asked questions

What is the QME500031 lower steering shaft assembly for?
The QME500031 is the lower steering shaft assembly on the Land Rover Defender. It's the intermediate link between the lower steering column and the steering box input shaft, using universal joints and a sliding section to transmit steering input across the offset between column and box.
Where does the lower steering shaft sit on a Defender?
The lower steering shaft sits between the base of the steering column and the steering box, low in the engine bay near the bulkhead. It connects the column you turn to the steering box that moves the road wheels, absorbing the angle and movement between the two.
What are the signs the lower steering shaft needs replacing?
A worn lower steering shaft typically shows as play or free movement at the wheel, knocking or clunking when turning, or notchy, stiff steering as the universal joints seize. On the Defender this is a steering safety item, so worn joints should be renewed rather than left.
How do I confirm this fits my vehicle?
This assembly fits the Land Rover Defender and is supplied as the lower steering shaft and column joint repair unit. Defender steering arrangements changed over the production run, so confirm your column and steering box setup before ordering. The part number is QME500031.
