Frequently asked questions

What is this Gearbox Bearing and what does it do?
This Gearbox Bearing is the Timken taper roller bearing for the front output shaft of the LT230 transfer box. It locates the front output shaft and carries the combined radial and axial loads during drive, with correct preload being important to smooth operation.
Which vehicles does this LT230 output shaft bearing fit?
This fits the LT230 transfer box front output shaft on the Land Rover Defender (1987-2016), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), Discovery 2 (1998-2004) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1991, to VIN HA610293). Check your VIN against the Range Rover Classic break before ordering.
What are the alternative part numbers for this bearing?
This bearing cross-references to BR 3675, 606473, SET1041-900SA and BR7871. It's the Timken-branded version of the LT230 front output shaft taper roller bearing. If you've found it under any of these codes, it's the same bearing.
What are the signs this bearing needs replacing?
A worn LT230 front output shaft bearing typically shows as a whine or rumble from the transfer box, play in the front output flange, or metal traces in the oil. Running it worn can damage the output shaft and housing. Renew it, and set the preload correctly, during an overhaul.
