Crown Wheel and Pinion is the final-drive gear set inside the differential, comprising the ring (crown) gear and its matched drive pinion.

The pinion is driven by the propeller shaft and meshes with the crown wheel to turn the differential carrier, transmitting drive from the propshaft to the axle halfshafts and setting the axle final-drive ratio. The crown wheel and pinion are lapped as a matched pair and must be supplied and fitted together. This is a heavy-duty four-pin differential application.

Frequently asked questions

What is a crown wheel and pinion and what does it do?
The crown wheel and pinion is the final drive gear set inside a Land Rover Defender axle differential. The pinion, driven by the propshaft, turns the larger crown wheel to drive the axle shafts. It sets the axle ratio and transmits engine torque to the wheels.
Which Defender axles does this crown wheel and pinion fit?
This crown wheel and pinion fits the Defender rear axle on the 90 (1983-2006, heavy duty 4-pin) and the Defender 2007-2016 front axle (4-pin, from VIN 7A000001). Confirm which axle you're rebuilding and your VIN, as the applications differ.
Is fitting a crown wheel and pinion a DIY job?
Fitting a crown wheel and pinion is typically a specialist job on the Defender, as it needs pinion depth and backlash set with a dial gauge and the bearing preload correctly shimmed. Incorrect setup causes whine or rapid gear failure, so most owners use an axle specialist.
