Land Rover wheel bearings and seals carry the wheel and keep the hub running true, sealed and greased. This collection covers wheel and hub bearings, taper roller and complete hub units, hub assemblies, wheel hubs, hub nuts and caps, plus the hub and stub-axle oil seals, seal kits and circlips that go with them. A worn wheel bearing gives a droning or rumbling noise that changes with cornering, and play at the wheel, so catch it early.

View full detailsFitment spans the whole range, from serviceable taper roller bearings on the traditional beam-axle models to complete hub bearing units on Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and later vehicles. Bearing type follows the model and build, not the suspension layout, so confirm by VIN before ordering. Budget Parts has supplied Land Rover parts for more than 25 years, with stock across our Dutch warehouse network for fast EU dispatch.
The wheel bearing lets the hub spin freely on the stub axle while carrying the vehicle's weight and the loads from cornering and braking. Alongside it, the hub and stub-axle oil seals keep the grease or axle oil in and the water and grit out. When a bearing wears it drones, rumbles or growls, usually rising with speed and changing as the vehicle is loaded up in a corner, and it can leave play at the wheel. A failed seal lets a bearing run dry or contaminates the brake, so seals are renewed with the bearing as a matter of course. This collection sits within the wider Land Rover axle, suspension and steering system.
It groups the wheel bearings, hub units and hub or stub-axle seals for Series, Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models. It covers the bearings, seals and hub hardware that live at the wheel end; engine, gearbox and differential oil seals belong with their own systems, and the swivel housing itself is grouped in Axle and Swivel Parts. Budget Parts lists both the individual bearings and seals and the complete hub bearing kits for the common jobs in this collection.
Buying GuideStart by identifying the bearing arrangement for your exact model, axle and build date, because it follows the vehicle rather than the suspension layout. The traditional beam-axle models, Series, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and most Defenders, use serviceable inner and outer taper roller bearings that are adjusted to the specified hub end float and supplied with the seals. Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and many later models use a complete hub bearing unit or hub assembly that is fitted as one part and not adjusted, often with the ABS sensor or encoder built in. Confirm which arrangement you have before ordering, since the parts and the job are different.
Buy the seals with the bearings. A hub bearing kit may include the inner and outer taper rollers, the hub oil seal and, where listed, the stub-axle seal, so check the individual product to see what is in the box. Where you are chasing a leak rather than a noise, an individual hub or stub-axle oil seal is available on its own. Confirm the wheel-speed sensor and encoder arrangement by VIN, since the ABS trigger may sit on the hub, on the CV joint, or be built into the bearing seal.
Genuine, OEM and aftermarket. Genuine bearings and seals carry the Land Rover part number. OEM or OES parts come from original-equipment manufacturers or recognised OE suppliers, and bearing and seal brands such as Timken, SKF, FAG and Corteco may appear as OE, OES or aftermarket depending on the specific item. Aftermarket also covers value ranges for lighter-use vehicles. On a safety and wear part that turns every mile, a quality OEM or OES bearing is usually worth it over the cheapest option.
FitmentThe table groups models by wheel bearing type. Confirm the axle and whether the vehicle has ABS by VIN before ordering, since the hub and reluctor arrangement changes.
| Model group | Wheel bearing type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Series 1, 2, 2A, 3 | Serviceable inner and outer taper roller bearings | Adjust to the specified hub end float with the adjusting and locking nuts. Renew the disturbed hub seal |
| Land Rover 90, 110, 130 and Defender to VIN WA159806 | Serviceable inner and outer taper roller bearings | Earlier adjust-and-lock nut arrangement. Set to the specified end float for the axle |
| Defender from VIN XA159807 (to 2016) | Serviceable taper roller bearings with a selected spacer | Colour-coded selected spacer with a staked one-shot hub nut (RFD100000). Follow the build-specific procedure, not the earlier adjust-and-lock method |
| Discovery 1 (1989 to 1998) | Serviceable inner and outer taper roller bearings | Adjust to the specified end float. Confirm front or rear axle and ABS parts by VIN |
| Discovery 2 (1998 to 2004) | Complete front and rear hub assemblies, non-adjustable | Fitted as one part with the ABS sensor built in. Front and rear units differ, confirm by VIN |
| Range Rover Classic (1970 to 1996) | Serviceable inner and outer taper roller bearings | Adjust to the specified end float and renew the hub seal. Late models carry ABS |
| Range Rover P38 (1994 to 2001) | Complete hub bearing assembly, non-adjustable | Not the Classic adjustable arrangement. Front hubs are handed, confirm side and axle |
| Freelander 1 (1997 to 2006) | Non-adjustable bearing in the hub carrier | Bearing pressed in and retained by a circlip, with a separate hub flange. ABS encoder arrangement changes by model year |
| Freelander 2 (2006 to 2014) | Front hub and bearing assembly, separate rear arrangement | Front and rear constructions differ. Confirm axle and build by VIN |
| Later independent Discovery, Range Rover and Sport | Model-specific sealed bearing or bolt-on hub assembly, ABS encoder integral on many | May be a bolt-on assembly or a bearing in the carrier. Confirm the exact unit by VIN |
Work from the build date and VIN, then confirm the bearing arrangement, since it follows the model and build rather than the suspension layout. Series, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and most Defenders take serviceable taper roller bearings supplied with seals, while Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and many later models take a complete hub bearing unit or assembly that is not adjusted. Confirm the wheel-speed sensor and encoder arrangement by VIN, because the ABS trigger may sit on the hub, on the CV joint, or be built into the bearing seal, and the wrong hub can leave the sensor without a signal. Note front or rear and, on the P38, the side, since the parts differ across most of the range.
FittingWheel bearings are a safety-critical wear part. Adjust serviceable taper roller hubs to the specified end float, torque complete hub units as specified, and renew the disturbed hub seal with the bearing. A dragging or noisy bearing left in service can seize or overheat the brake.

Land Rover wheel accessories and nutsA worn wheel bearing usually drones, rumbles or growls, and the noise rises with road speed and often changes as the vehicle loads and unloads the bearing through a corner. You may also feel play if you rock the wheel at the top and bottom with the vehicle raised, though a swivel bearing, ball joint or suspension joint can give similar movement, so isolate the source before replacing parts. Catch it early, because a bearing left to fail can seize or overheat the brake.
Renew the hub grease seal that is disturbed when the hub is off, since a new bearing behind an old or hardened seal will not stay sealed and greased for long. Inspect the stub-axle seal and renew it if it is leaking, damaged or removed. Many hub bearing kits for the taper roller axles include the seals, so check the individual product. A complete hub unit has its seal built in and is renewed as one part.
The traditional beam-axle models, Series, Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic, use two taper roller bearings per hub, an inner and an outer, that are packed with grease and adjusted to the specified hub end float. Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and many later models use a complete hub bearing unit or assembly that arrives greased and sealed, is fitted as one part and is not adjusted. Bearing type follows the model, axle and build rather than the suspension layout, so confirm which your vehicle uses before ordering.
On the serviceable taper roller hubs, the bearings are adjusted to a specified hub end float using the procedure for that axle and build, not a general preload, so the bearing turns freely without play. Too tight overheats the bearing and too loose leaves play and uneven tyre wear. Complete hub units, as used on Discovery 2, Range Rover P38 and many later models, are not adjustable and are simply torqued to the specified figure.
They can be. Where the ABS encoder is built into the hub, CV joint or bearing seal, a worn or loose bearing can upset the sensor gap and trigger a fault, and an intermittent wheel-speed signal can also come from the sensor, the wiring or the CV-joint trigger rather than the bearing. The encoder arrangement varies by model and build, so check the bearing, the encoder and the sensor together before deciding which part to replace.
Genuine bearings and seals carry the Land Rover part number. OEM or OES parts come from original-equipment manufacturers or recognised OE suppliers, and bearing and seal brands such as Timken, SKF, FAG and Corteco may appear as OE, OES or aftermarket depending on the specific item. Aftermarket also covers value ranges for lighter-use vehicles. On a wear part that turns every mile, a quality OEM or OES bearing is usually worth the difference.
