upnover4x4 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Looking to change my 3bolt steering box to 4bolt box from 300tdi. Only have the steering box & uj. Since I have the 3 bolt box is it ncessary to change to 300tdi column & shaft to fit the 4 bolt box? Thanks Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Your column and shaft will be fine. You may have an issue, however, with the threads on the hoses as these changed and you may need to get hoses or adapters made up. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnover4x4 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks Mo, do you know if the shaft has the same amount of splines from 3 to 4 bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yes, as there only seems to be one part number for the UJ's, so they must fit all. /now waiting to be proved wrong by a Ralph grown up/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnover4x4 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Now my old uj is cast steel & aprox 3" long the new one I had with the Relay was about 1/2" longer & made of alloy. Could it be off another vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The input shaft should be the same, now waiting for land Rover to prove me wrong Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
