Frequently asked questions

What is the LR179001 rear wheel bearing and what does it do?
The LR179001 rear wheel bearing is a Genuine Land Rover sealed hub unit. It carries the rear axle load and lets the road wheel and hub rotate in precise alignment under cornering and braking. It fits the New Defender (L663), Discovery 5 and Range Rover Velar rear hub.
How many rear wheel bearings are needed for the job?
One LR179001 covers a single rear hub, so you'll typically need two for a complete axle pair. Many workshops replace both sides together to keep braking and handling balanced, even when only one side is worn.
What are the signs a rear wheel bearing needs replacing?
A failing rear wheel bearing usually makes a droning or humming noise that changes with speed or cornering, and can produce play at the wheel. On the Defender L663, Discovery 5 and Velar it's a sealed unit, so it's replaced as a complete hub rather than repacked.
How do I confirm this rear bearing fits my Discovery 5?
On the Discovery 5 (L462) this rear hub bearing applies to Nitra plant build from VIN K2000001. It also fits the New Defender (L663) and Range Rover Velar rear hub. Use your VIN to confirm the build and specification before ordering.
