Steering UJ's
Hi guys,

Recently bought a defender 90 1996 and noticed from in the cab when the steering wheel is turned i can hear a knocking noise. On further inspection it appears to be the steering UJ's!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a how to guide on the replacement. Or any hints and tips on what to do or look out for. Thanks

Are you talking about the uj's on the shaft under the bonnet from steering colum to steering box?

If you are, the easiest way is to buy the complete section that contains both uj's and the joining section. Then it is just a case of removing bolt from top and bottom clamp then a quick fight to get it out, new one in tighten, test. Simples.

I got mine from Devon 4x4.

steering lock on and wheels on ground then with bit of luck steering should be back in same place .
make sure uj's are pushed right on splined ends ( column and steering box ) when you put bolts in

Cheers guys. I bought replaceable UJ's.

With engaging the steering lock, will I manage to loosen the pinch bolts?

Is there anyway i can put it back together wrong, incorrectly on splines etc?
