Taper Roller Bearing for the front output shaft of the LT230 transfer box.

Installed within the LT230 transfer case differential lock and output shaft assembly, this bearing locates the front output shaft and carries the combined radial and axial loads generated during drive. Correct bearing preload at this location is critical to smooth output shaft operation and long-term gear alignment.

Frequently asked questions

What is this LT230 gearbox bearing and what does it do?

This is the taper roller bearing for the front output shaft of the LT230 transfer box. It locates the output shaft and carries the radial and axial loads from drive, keeping the gears aligned. It's fitted to Defender (1987-2016), Discovery 1 and 2, and Range Rover Classic transfer cases.

What are the signs this transfer box bearing is worn?

A worn LT230 front output shaft bearing usually produces a whine or growl from the transfer box that changes with road speed, and sometimes play in the output flange. Bearings wear as preload is lost. Left unchecked, a failing bearing can damage the output shaft and housing.

Does this bearing need its preload set on fitting?

Yes, this taper roller bearing relies on correct preload, so it's fitted with its matching race and the preload re-set during a transfer box rebuild. Fitters typically renew it as part of the job rather than on its own. Set preload to the workshop manual specification for correct shaft alignment.
