{"product_id":"joint-steering-shaft-lower","title":"Joint - Steering Shaft - Lower for Defender (1986 – 2006) Lower – NRC7387","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NRC7387 is the lower steering shaft universal joint, connecting the steering column to the steering box or rack and transmitting rotational input from the driver directly to the steering mechanism. Wear in this joint manifests as play, clunking, or vagueness in the steering, particularly noticeable at low speeds or when manoeuvring. Replacing a worn joint restores precise steering response and eliminates unwanted free movement in the lower column assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower steering shaft universal joint, positioned between the intermediate shaft and steering box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement maintaining original steering geometry and column alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatches Land Rover specification for the lower joint position on affected models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the upper steering column joint simultaneously, as both joints typically wear at a similar rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part fits the Defender (1986–2006), Discovery 1 (1989–1998, up to VIN HA002272), and Range Rover Classic (up to VIN LA647644), all at the lower steering shaft joint position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
