Crown wheel and pinion set with a 4.1:1 final drive ratio, short nose differential configuration, suitable for both the front and rear differential.

The crown wheel and pinion form the final drive stage within the differential housing. The pinion is driven by the propshaft and turns the crown wheel, transmitting drive through 90 degrees to the differential carrier and on to the halfshafts. The ratio sets the number of pinion revolutions per turn of the crown wheel and therefore the overall gearing between gearbox output and road wheels. Front and rear differentials must run the same ratio.

Crown wheel and pinion are lapped together as a matched pair and must be fitted as a set, with pinion depth, bearing preload and backlash set on installation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the KAM549 crown wheel and pinion set for?
It's a 4.1:1 ratio crown wheel and pinion set for the short nose Wolf differential, supplied for use in either the front or rear axle.
What's the difference between KAM549 and KAM541/KAM542?
KAM549 is the short nose Wolf diff version of the 4.1:1 ratio. KAM541 and KAM542 are the long nose diff versions of the same ratio, for the front and rear respectively. The two designs aren't interchangeable, so match KAM549 to a Wolf-type short nose differential only.
Which vehicles fit the KAM549 crown wheel and pinion?
Fits the Defender (short nose Wolf differential) and Range Rover P38, front and rear, at the 4.1:1 ratio.
Is the crown wheel and pinion supplied ready to fit, or does it need setup?
It needs setup on installation. The crown wheel and pinion are lapped together as a matched pair, with pinion depth, bearing preload, and backlash set when fitted, rather than being a drop-in swap.
