Split Pin is a locking fastener that secures a castellated nut against rotation on steering and suspension linkage joints.

Fitted through the drilled shank of a track rod end, ball joint or damper stud and aligned with the slots of its castle nut, the two legs are splayed apart on installation to positively lock the nut and prevent it working loose under vibration. It is used at track rod, anti-roll bar link, top link and fulcrum joint fixings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Split Pin used for?
The Split Pin locks a castellated nut against rotation on steering and suspension joints. Fitted through the drilled shank of a track rod end, ball joint or damper stud, its legs are splayed apart to stop the castle nut working loose under vibration. Used on the Defender up to 2016.
Can a split pin be reused or should it be replaced?
Replace the split pin every time, don't reuse it. These are single-use by design. Splaying and closing the legs work-hardens the metal, so a reused pin can fatigue and fail. Fit a fresh one whenever you disturb a castellated nut on a track rod, ball joint or fulcrum fixing.
How many split pins do I need for the job?
You'll typically need one split pin per castellated nut. A single track rod end or ball joint uses one, so count the joints you're disturbing. It's worth ordering a few spares since they're single-use and easy to drop during fitting on the Defender.
