Frequently asked questions

What does the steering shaft do?

The steering shaft transmits rotation from the steering column to the steering box input, and its universal joint accommodates the angular offset between the two. It's supplied as the intermediate steering shaft with its integral joint, part number QME500040, for the Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.

Which vehicles does this steering shaft fit?

This steering shaft fits the Discovery 1 (1989-1998, from VIN MA081992) and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994, from VIN JA610294). There's a VIN break on both, so earlier chassis can use a different shaft. Check your VIN against these ranges before ordering.

What are the signs of a worn steering shaft joint?

A worn universal joint on the steering shaft usually shows as free play or notchiness at the wheel, clonking over bumps, or a slight delay before the steering responds. Because this is a steering component, have any play checked and the shaft replaced promptly by a competent mechanic.

How do I confirm the right shaft for my vehicle?

Confirm fitment with your VIN, since this shaft covers the Discovery 1 from VIN MA081992 and Range Rover Classic from VIN JA610294. The Land Rover reference is QME500040 and the BritPart code is QME500040G. Match your VIN to those ranges to be sure.
