Frequently asked questions

What is the MUC4471LR tailgate door check drag link?
The MUC4471LR is the door check drag link for the rear tailgate on the Land Rover Defender. It limits how far the tailgate swings open and holds it steady, stopping it from over-opening and straining the hinges.
Where does this drag link fit on the Defender?
This drag link fits at the rear tailgate of the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), forming the check mechanism between the tailgate and the body. It's a genuine Land Rover part.
How do I know if my tailgate check link needs replacing?
A tailgate that swings too far, drops, or no longer holds position usually points to a worn or broken check drag link. Replacing the MUC4471LR restores controlled tailgate movement.
