Frequently asked questions

What is the STC8653 front chassis leg?
The STC8653 is the left-hand front chassis leg, also called the front dumb iron, for the Land Rover Defender. It's the forward structural section of the chassis frame, carrying the front crossmember, bumper mountings and forward suspension pick-up points. Supplied as a repair section.
When would you need a front chassis leg?
A front chassis leg like the STC8653 is fitted when the original left-hand front leg has corroded or been damaged in an impact. It replaces the front section of the Defender frame rather than the whole chassis, restoring the bumper and front suspension mounting points.
Which Defenders does the STC8653 fit?
The STC8653 fits the left-hand side of the Land Rover Defender 90, 110 and 130 from 1983 to 2016. It's the front chassis leg section. Confirm your vehicle's side and year with your VIN before ordering.
Can the STC8653 chassis leg be fitted at home?
Fitting the STC8653 chassis leg is a specialist welding job, not a DIY task. The corroded section is cut out and the new leg welded in with the frame aligned and supported. It's structural, so it's typically done by a workshop experienced with Defender chassis repairs.
