Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Balance Shaft - counterweighted shaft forming part of the engine balancer assembly in the lower block.

Driven from the crankshaft and running at twice crankshaft speed, it generates an opposing inertial force that cancels the second-order vibration inherent to an inline four-cylinder engine, preventing that vibration being transmitted through the block into the mountings and body structure. Fitted to the 2.0L Ingenium four-cylinder diesel (AJ200 / AJ21D4).

The shaft journals run in pressure-fed bearings. Wear or bearing damage presents as a rise in engine noise and vibration that tracks engine speed, and warrants inspection of the oil feed to the balancer assembly at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR167443LR balance shaft and what does it do?
The LR167443LR is an engine balance shaft for the 2.0L Ingenium diesel (AJ200/AJ21D4) fitted to the New Defender L663, Discovery 5, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque L551 and Velar. It counteracts vibration from the four-cylinder rotating assembly for smoother running. This is a Genuine Land Rover part.
Which engine does this balance shaft fit?
The LR167443LR fits the 2.0L four-cylinder Ingenium diesel only (AJ200 / AJ21D4 Mid), across the New Defender L663, Discovery 5 and Sport, Evoque L551 and Velar. It won't fit petrol or six-cylinder engines. Some applications begin from specific VIN breaks, so check the fitment notes.
Is fitting a balance shaft a specialist job?
Fitting a balance shaft is typically an engine-internal specialist job, since it involves accessing the lower engine with correct timing and torque. Incorrect installation can cause vibration or engine damage, so this is usually done by a workshop rather than at home.
How do I confirm this balance shaft fits my vehicle?
The LR167443LR fits the 2.0L Ingenium diesel New Defender L663, Discovery 5 and Sport, Evoque L551 and Velar. Confirm your engine is the 2.0 diesel and check any VIN break in the fitment notes (for example Nitra build from K2000001 on the Discovery 5) before ordering.
