Side Member is a structural body member forming part of the rear seat mounting structure, providing the anchorage for the inward-facing rear seats.

Fixed within the rear body, it carries and locates the seat fixings and transfers the load of the folding bench seats into the surrounding structure. A corroded or distorted side member weakens the security of the seat mountings, so it is replaced to restore a sound anchorage.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ALR8381 side member and what does it do?
The ALR8381 side member is a structural body member in the rear inward-facing seat mounting structure of the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006). It anchors the rear seat fixings and feeds the load of the folding bench seats into the surrounding body, holding the seats securely.
How do I confirm the ALR8381 side member fits my Defender?
The ALR8381 side member fits the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006, for the rear inward-facing seat anchorage from VIN (V)MA951240 onward. The rear seat structure uses more than one member, so match the ALR8381 part number to your parts catalogue and check your chassis number against the VIN break.
Why does the side member corrode and need replacing?
The ALR8381 side member typically needs replacing when corrosion weakens the rear seat anchorage. On the Defender the rear floor and seat mounting area is exposed to damp and road dirt, so the member rusts where it carries the seat loads. Renewing it restores a secure seat mounting.
