Frequently asked questions

What is the tab washer used for on the steering drop arm?
The tab washer locks the drop arm retaining nut on the Adwest steering box output shaft. Its tabs fold against the flats of the nut so it can't work loose under steering loads. It fits the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic with the Adwest steering box.
Can the steering box tab washer be reused?
No, replace the tab washer every time the drop arm is removed. Once the locking tabs have been folded and unfolded they lose their grip, so a used washer can let the drop arm nut loosen, which is a serious steering safety risk. Always fit a new one.
Which steering boxes does this tab washer suit?
This tab washer suits the Adwest steering box fitted to the Land Rover Defender (1983-2006, and 2007-2016 from VIN 7A000001), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994). Confirm you have the Adwest box and the correct drop arm nut before ordering.
