Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC5870D track rod end used for?

The RTC5870D is the left-hand thread ball joint in the steering linkage on the Land Rover Defender (up to 2016), Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic. It connects the track rod or drag link to the steering arm and transfers steering movement to the road wheel.

Does the RTC5870D fit all Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic models?

On the Discovery 1 the RTC5870D fits from VIN JA018174, and on the Range Rover Classic it covers the drag link ball joint across 1970-1994 builds. On the Defender it suits all variants up to 2016. Use your VIN to confirm the steering setup before ordering.

Where does this joint fit in the steering linkage?

The RTC5870D fits the left-hand thread position on the track rod or drag link, depending on the vehicle. Many owners replace the track rod and drag link joints together, since they wear at a similar rate on the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic.

What are the signs this track rod end needs replacing?

A track rod end typically fails when the ball joint wears or the boot splits and lets water into the joint. On the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic you'll usually feel steering play or hear knocking over rough ground. Replace a worn joint to keep steering safe.
