Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC5564R mainshaft bearing used for?
The FRC5564R mainshaft bearing supports the mainshaft inside the LT230 transfer box, carrying the shaft's rotational loads and keeping it running true as drive passes through the gear train. It locates the mainshaft gear against radial and thrust loads to maintain correct shaft alignment.
Which Land Rovers does this LT230 mainshaft bearing fit?
This LT230 mainshaft bearing fits the Defender up to 2016, Discovery 1, Discovery 2, and Range Rover Classic, all built with the LT230 transfer box. Confirm your vehicle uses the LT230 transfer case before ordering, as that's the shared factor across these models.
What are the signs the LT230 mainshaft bearing needs replacing?
The LT230 mainshaft bearing typically signals wear through a whining or rumbling noise from the transfer box that usually rises with road speed. Play or roughness in the bearing can let the mainshaft run out of true. It's usually replaced during a transfer box rebuild rather than on its own.
What part numbers cross-reference to the FRC5564R bearing?
The FRC5564R bearing carries Land Rover number FRC5564 and the Hotbray reference FRC5564ES. It also cross-references to BR 0484 and SET121-900SA. Checking these numbers against your old bearing helps confirm you're ordering the correct LT230 mainshaft bearing.
