Genuine Nissan Steering Rubber Coupling Joint Assembly - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ 1987-2017 & Y61 GU 1987-2017

This is a genuine Nissan steering rubber coupling joint assembly, often referred to as a 'rag joint'. It is fitted to the steering shaft, forming the crucial connection between the steering column inside the cabin and the steering box located in the engine bay. This component is specifically designed to absorb vibrations and shocks from the road, preventing them from being felt through the steering wheel, while also allowing for a slight operational angle in the steering shaft.

Over time, the flexible rubber in the coupling perishes, cracks, and wears out due to constant exposure to age, engine bay heat, and oil contamination. This degradation results in excessive movement, which manifests as a noticeable 'clunk', looseness, or excessive play in the steering, especially when turning. A worn steering coupling is a common failure point and a frequent reason for a vehicle to fail a roadworthy inspection.
