Frequently asked questions

What does the front halfshaft distance piece do?

The distance piece is a spacer fitted to the front halfshaft in the front axle and hub assembly. It sets the correct position of the halfshaft, taking up the gap between adjacent components so the shaft is located as designed within the hub.

Does this distance piece fit both short and long wheelbase models?

It fits the 109-inch long-wheelbase throughout, but on the 88-inch short-wheelbase and Lightweight it applies from July 1980 onward. Check your wheelbase and build date against that split before ordering, as earlier 88-inch axles used a different arrangement.

Where is the distance piece fitted?

The distance piece sits on the front halfshaft inside the front axle and hub assembly. It's part of the front drive mechanism, so it's usually reached when the halfshaft is removed for axle, swivel, or hub servicing, and should be refitted in the correct order.

Which Land Rovers use this distance piece?

This front halfshaft distance piece suits the Land Rover Series 2A and 3, and the early Defender front axle. Because the short-wheelbase fitment starts from July 1980, confirm your model, wheelbase, and build date before ordering.
