Frequently asked questions

What does the top swivel pin bearing spring do?

This spring acts on the top swivel pin bearing to maintain bearing preload. That preload sets the swivel resistance of the steering as the front axle articulates, keeping the swivel feeling controlled rather than loose. It's an OEM part for the front axle swivel housing.

Which models does this swivel pin spring fit?

It fits the Land Rover Series II and IIA (1958-1971), including the early Series 2 from 1958 to 1965. The listed application is the 2.25 petrol engine. Confirm your swivel housing design before ordering, as swivel parts changed across the Series range.

Should the swivel pin spring be replaced during a swivel overhaul?

Typically yes. When you strip the swivel to renew the top pin bearing, fit a new spring at the same time so the bearing preload is set correctly on reassembly. Reusing a tired spring can leave the steering swivel feeling notchy or loose.
