Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC4738 lower steering column shaft do?
The RTC4738 is the lower steering column shaft. It transmits steering input from the upper column down to the steering box. It's supplied without universal joints fitted, carrying your steering motion through the lower part of the column assembly.
Which vehicle does this lower steering shaft fit?
This lower steering shaft fits the Land Rover Defender built 1987 to 2006, within the VIN range VA133508 to MA962814. Check your vehicle's VIN against that range before ordering, as it does not cover later Defenders.
Does this shaft come with universal joints?
No. The RTC4738 is the no-U-joints version, supplied without universal joints fitted. You'll need to transfer the joints from your old shaft or buy them separately, so check what your existing column uses before ordering.
What are the alternative part numbers for this shaft?
The RTC4738 cross-references to NRC8052, NRC8073 and NTC1731. These are listed as equivalent or superseded numbers for the same lower steering column shaft, so an order against any of them refers to this part.
