Joint Steering Upper for Defender (1986 – 2006) Lower – NRC7387G
Product Description
The upper steering joint (also referred to as the upper swivel or steering shaft universal joint) connects the steering column to the steering box input shaft on the lower steering assembly, transmitting driver input directly to the steering mechanism. Wear in this joint introduces play and imprecision into the steering, which can present as vagueness on-centre, vibration through the steering wheel, or clunking under load. Replacing a worn joint restores accurate steering response and is essential for safe vehicle operation.
Key Features
- Upper joint position in the steering shaft assembly, designed to mate with the lower steering column section
- Direct replacement for the original unit - no modification required for fitment
- Supplied to OEM specification for correct articulation angle and torque transfer
- Inspect the lower steering joint (NRC7386 or equivalent) simultaneously, as both joints wear at comparable rates
Vehicle Fitment
This part fits the Defender (1986–2006), Discovery 1 (1989–1998, up to chassis HA002272), and Range Rover Classic (up to chassis LA647644), all on the lower steering assembly.
