Land Rover Part Number: QLE500020 - Lower Steering Column Universal Joint
QLE500020 is a lower steering column universal joint supplied as a repair kit for the lower steering shaft. Fitted to the bottom section of the column assembly, the joint transmits steering torque between the steering column and the intermediate or lower shaft while accommodating angular misalignment and axial movement. It is exposed to steering loads and road vibration; wear or deterioration can produce play, clunks or rough steering feedback. Replacing the universal joint restores a secure mechanical connection and removes movement that causes steering imprecision, and is intended where the lower steering shaft assembly requires renewal of the universal joint element rather than replacement of the entire shaft assembly.
