Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC56 swivel pin housing thrust washer used for?

The FTC56 is the swivel pin housing thrust washer. It sits in the swivel assembly at the front axle to control end-float and bear thrust loads as the steering turns. Correct shimming here keeps the swivel preload right and steering smooth.

How many FTC56 washers are needed?

Thrust washers are typically fitted per swivel, with one front axle using two swivel assemblies. Swivel overhauls usually renew these along with the seals and bearings. Order to suit the number of swivels you're rebuilding.

Why replace the swivel thrust washer?

The swivel thrust washer wears with steering use, increasing end-float in the swivel. Worn washers typically cause play, notchy steering, and incorrect swivel preload. Renewing it during a swivel rebuild restores the correct setup.

How do I confirm the FTC56 fits my vehicle?

The FTC56 fits Defender 1986-2006 from VIN LA930456, Defender 2007-2016 from VIN 7A000001, Discovery 1 from VIN JA032851, and Range Rover Classic 1992-1994 from VIN JA610294. Check your VIN against these breaks.
