Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC2883 swivel shim used for on a Land Rover front axle?

FRC2883 is a 0.075mm precision shim used to set the pre-load on swivel pin housing taper roller bearings on the front axle. It fits between the swivel pin housing and axle casing. Correct bearing pre-load is critical for smooth steering and long bearing life on Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic.

How many FRC2883 shims are needed for a swivel pin housing overhaul?

The number varies. Swivel pin housing pre-load is set by combining shims of different available thicknesses to hit the specified bearing pre-load setting. The 0.075mm FRC2883 is typically used alongside other thickness options. Measure during assembly rather than assuming a fixed shim count per side.

Which Defender and Discovery models does FRC2883 fit?

FRC2883 fits Defender up to 2016 with VIN splits at KA930455/LA930456 and Puma from VIN 7A000001, Discovery 1 from VIN JA032851, and Range Rover Classic (ABS models all years; non-ABS from VIN JA624517).
