Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8700 front hub nut and what does it retain?

FRC8700 is the front hub nut (counter nut) that threads onto the stub axle to secure the wheel hub and bearing assembly on Defender, Series III, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic front axles. It sets wheel bearing preload when torqued to the workshop manual specification.

Is FRC8700 a locking nut, and how is it retained on the stub axle?

FRC8700 is a counter nut, not a self-locking nut. A separate tabbed hub lock washer is fitted under the nut to provide the locking function: the washer tabs are bent against the nut flats after torquing. Always fit a new lock washer when replacing the hub nut.

Which models and VINs does FRC8700 fit?

FRC8700 fits Defender to KA930455 and from LA930456, Discovery 1 to JA032850 and from JA032851, Range Rover Classic with ABS and non-ABS variants, and Series III. Cross-references: 90217355 and BR 0606.
