Rear Differential Assembly - the final-drive unit at the centre of the rear axle that takes drive from the propshaft and splits it between the two half-shafts, letting them turn at different speeds through a corner.

This is the Land Rover-type axle differential built on a four-pin (four-spider) carrier for higher torque capacity, with 24-spline side gears to match the axle half-shafts. Supplied as a complete differential assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC4663 rear differential?
The FTC4663 is a complete rear differential for the Land Rover-type axle on the Defender (1987-2006). It's the final-drive unit that takes propshaft drive and splits it between the two rear half-shafts, letting them turn at different speeds through a corner. It uses a four-pin carrier for higher torque capacity.
How do I know if FTC4663 fits my Defender axle?
FTC4663 fits the Defender from VIN (V)LA390456 with the Land Rover-type rear axle and 24-spline side gears. Your half-shafts must be the 24-spline type to match. Earlier axles with a different spline count need a different differential, so check your axle type and spline count first.
What's the advantage of the FTC4663 four-pin differential?
The FTC4663 uses a four-pin carrier rather than the standard two-pin design, spreading load across four planet gears for higher torque capacity. It's the stronger choice for heavily loaded or off-road Defenders, where a two-pin differential can be a weak point.
What are the signs a Defender rear differential is failing?
A failing rear differential usually whines or howls in a way that changes with speed, clunks on drive take-up, or leaves metal debris in the axle oil. Worn crown wheel and pinion teeth or collapsed bearings are common on high-mileage Defenders. Left unchecked it can seize the axle.
