Frequently asked questions

What does the differential thrust washer do?
The differential thrust washer seats behind a differential gear to control end-float and carry axial thrust between the side and pinion gears and the differential case. It's used in the four-pinion crownwheel-and-pinion assembly of the Land Rover-type axle.
Which Land Rovers use this thrust washer?
This thrust washer fits the four-pinion differential in the Defender (1987-2006) with the Land Rover-type axle and the Range Rover P38 (1994-2001) rear axle. It's specific to the four-pinion crownwheel-and-pinion setup, so confirm your differential type before ordering.
When should the differential thrust washer be replaced?
Differential thrust washers should be replaced when worn, as wear increases gear end-float and backlash, causing whine or premature gear wear. On the four-pinion Land Rover axle, they're typically renewed whenever the differential is stripped for overhaul. Fitting new washers restores correct end-float.
