Swivel Pin Housing, left-hand side - the ball housing that forms the outer end of the front axle and carries the steering swivel.

It is located on the axle case by the upper and lower swivel pins, which provide the steering pivot axis, and carries the stub axle on its outer face. The constant velocity joint runs inside the housing, transmitting drive to the hub through the steering angle. The polished outer surface of the ball runs against the swivel seal, which retains the lubricant inside the housing.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FTC5297 swivel pin housing do?
The FTC5297 is the left-hand swivel pin housing forming the outer end of the Defender or Discovery 1 front axle. It carries the steering swivel pins that provide the pivot axis, houses the CV joint that transmits drive to the hub, and holds the stub axle on its outer face.
Where does the swivel seal sit in relation to the FTC5297 housing?
The swivel seal runs against the polished outer surface of the ball housing, sealing the joint and keeping the lubricant inside. If the ball surface is pitted or corroded, a new seal will still leak, so check the housing surface condition when replacing seals.
How do I confirm the FTC5297 fits my specific vehicle?
This covers Defender 1987-2006 from VIN LA930456, Defender 2007-2016 from VIN 7A000001, and Discovery 1 1989-1998 from VIN JA032851. Since the VIN breaks differ by model, confirm your chassis number against the right range before ordering.
