Frequently asked questions

What is the 0.002 in shim (271379) used for?

The 0.002 in shim is a thickness-selective adjustment shim for the manual steering box on the Land Rover Series 2, 3 and Defender up to 2016. It sits inside the steering box to set the correct end-float and preload of the internal components during assembly.

How do I know which shim thickness I need?

Shim thickness is selected on assembly to bring the steering box adjustment within tolerance, so the right size depends on the measured end-float. This is the 0.002 in shim; boxes are usually built up from a combination of thicknesses, so you may need more than one size to set it correctly.

Is fitting the steering box shim a DIY job?

Fitting the shim means partially dismantling the manual steering box to reach the internal adjustment, so it's usually a job for someone comfortable setting steering-box preload. Getting the end-float wrong affects steering feel, so measure carefully and work to the box's specified tolerance.
