steering box

[Oz]

Hay guys is a 200/300 tdi steering box the same.............?     and is there any diffrence between defender and discovery steering box?



please help guys

I believe you go by the amount of bolts on the top?

Discovery ones are 4 bolt (one on each corner) there are also some Rangy ones that are 3 bolt. Hope this helps you?

3 bolt are the original imperial threaded ones fitted to RRC, I'm told they are stronger.
4 bolt are the later metric ones fitted to all Discos
6 bolt are found on some Defenders, IIRC they are H/D, never seen one.

The only differnece worth worrying about is the later ones had a 6mmm hole at the back of the output shaft that lines up with a slot in the drop arm, to find the centre fo travel.  Otherwise wind it all the wat to the left (drag link removed) then wind it 2 full turns to the right, that's the mid-point.

Cheers mate. u have any idea if they are hard to fit (diy) got some tools and the haynes book of liess?

It's more awkward than hard as long as you don't have to remove the drop arm.

Not hard, just bloomin heavy!!

Replacing a PAS box. Vehicle shown is a 6-bolt item on a 90, but the method of removal/replacement is almost identical on a Disco.

I found it easier to remove the panhard rod and drop the box out the bottom, but on a later V8 with airconn you can't even see the top of the box normaly.
