Frequently asked questions

What does the mainshaft bearing do in an LT230 transfer box?
The mainshaft bearing supports the mainshaft inside the LT230 transfer box, carrying the shaft's radial and thrust loads so it runs true as drive passes through the gear train. It keeps the mainshaft gear correctly aligned under load.
Which Land Rovers use the FRC5564 LT230 mainshaft bearing?
The FRC5564 bearing fits the LT230 transfer box on the Land Rover Defender up to 2016, Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Discovery 2 (1999-2004). Confirm your transfer box is the LT230 before ordering.
What are the signs an LT230 mainshaft bearing needs replacing?
A worn LT230 mainshaft bearing typically produces a whine or rumble from the transfer box that changes with speed, and sometimes play in the shaft. Left unchecked, a failed bearing can damage the gears it supports.
Is the mainshaft bearing replaced on its own or with other parts?
The mainshaft bearing is typically replaced as part of an LT230 transfer box overhaul, usually alongside the other shaft bearings and seals. Renewing all bearings while the box is stripped is common practice.
