Steering Box Shaft Bush supports the selector (sector) shaft within the power steering box, part of the steering assembly.

The bush forms the bearing surface in the steering box housing through which the sector shaft passes. That shaft carries the drop arm which transmits steering movement to the linkage; the bush locates the shaft and maintains its alignment against operating loads.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AEU1897 steering box shaft bush and what does it do?
The AEU1897 is the sector shaft bush inside the steering box. It forms the bearing surface the sector (selector) shaft turns in, locating that shaft as it carries the drop arm. The bush keeps the shaft aligned against steering loads so movement passes cleanly to the steering linkage.
Which vehicle and system does this bush belong to?
This bush belongs to the steering box on the Range Rover Classic up to 1994. It sits in the steering box housing where the sector shaft passes through, part of the power steering assembly. It's the OEM bush for that box.
What are the signs this steering box bush needs replacing?
A worn sector shaft bush typically shows as play or slack at the drop arm, vague steering, or a knock felt through the wheel on turns. As the bush wears, the sector shaft moves in its bore and steering accuracy drops. Check for shaft movement when diagnosing steering free play.
Can this bush be fitted at home?
Fitting this bush typically means stripping the steering box to press the old bush out and the new one in, then sizing it to the shaft. It's usually a specialist or experienced-DIY job rather than a quick change, since the sector shaft alignment has to stay correct.
