STC8650GAL - Achterdwarsbalk met verlengstukken gegalvaniseerd - Defender 90 1983-1998

The rear cross member is the rearmost transverse section of the Defender ladder chassis. It ties the two main chassis rails together and carries the rear body mounts, tow fittings and rear suspension loads. The integral extensions let you renew the corrosion-prone rear chassis as one galvanised assembly.

This rear cross member fits the Land Rover Defender 90 short wheelbase only, roughly 1983 to 2006. It is not the 110 or 130 crossmember. Check your chassis and body length before ordering, as the 90 section is shorter than the long wheelbase versions.

Fitting a rear cross member is usually a specialist job. It is a structural chassis repair that typically involves cutting out the old section and welding the new crossmember and extensions into place, so most owners have it done by a workshop with welding equipment.

STC8650GAL is the galvanised version of the STC8650 rear crossmember and cross-references the RTC6262E code. All three refer to the Defender 90 rear crossmember with extensions, so the galvanised STC8650GAL is the corrosion-resistant equivalent listed under those older part numbers.
