Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC2882 upper front swivel pin and what does it do?

The FTC2882 upper front swivel pin bolts to the top of the front swivel housing and forms the upper pivot on which the housing turns during steering. It carries the upper swivel bearing and works with the lower swivel pin to locate the swivel housing on the axle case.

Which vehicles does the FTC2882 upper swivel pin fit?

The FTC2882 fits the Land Rover Defender (1987 to 2006, from VIN LA930456), Discovery 1 (1989 to 1998, VIN JA032851 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (1992 to 1994, less ABS, from VIN JA610294). Check your VIN against these breaks, as early and ABS vehicles used different swivel parts.

How many upper swivel pins are needed, and is the lower pin different?

The upper front swivel pin is fitted one per side, so an axle overhaul typically needs two FTC2882 pins plus the two lower swivel pins, which are a separate part. The upper pin carries the bearing while the lower usually locates in a bottom bush, so they're not interchangeable.

Why does an upper swivel pin need replacing?

The upper swivel pin is typically replaced when its bearing surface is worn, pitted or corroded, which causes steering stiffness, play or a notchy feel. On these Land Rover front axles the swivel pins are usually renewed alongside the swivel bearings and seals during a swivel housing rebuild.
