Description

Defender wheel bearing kit for rebuilding one front or rear hub on 300TDI, TD5 and later TDCI models from VIN LA930456 onwards. The kit combines two TIMKEN® RTC3429G / STC4382G tapered roller wheel bearings with a Corteco FTC4785G inner hub seal, locking washer, drive flange gasket and half shaft circlip. These components are used with both the conventional adjustable twin-nut arrangement and the later hub setup using a bearing spacer and single hub nut.

Kit Contents

  • 2 × RTC3429G / STC4382G TIMKEN® wheel bearings with matching races
  • 1 × FTC4785G Corteco inner hub seal
  • 1 × FTC3179 wheel bearing lock washer
  • 1 × 571752 drive flange gasket
  • 1 × 549473 half shaft circlip

Adjustable and Spacer-Type Hub Arrangements

The bearing, seal, lock washer, drive flange gasket and circlip supplied in this kit are used with both hub arrangements. The difference is the hub nut setup.

Adjustable hubs use two FRC8700 hub lock nuts per hub. These nuts are normally reusable, so they are not included as standard with the bearing kit. Later spacer-type hubs use a single RFD100000 staked hub nut per hub.

Later spacer-equipped hubs can be easily converted to the conventional adjustable bearing arrangement. Removing the bearing spacer and using two FRC8700 hub nuts gives conventional manual wheel bearing adjustment without changing the bearings, seal or other parts supplied in this kit.

Vehicle Fitment

  • Defender 90, 110 and 130 from VIN LA930456 onwards
  • 300TDI, TD5 and later TDCI models
  • Front or rear hub
  • Adjustable twin-nut or later spacer-type hub arrangement
  • One kit required per hub

Timken Bearings

Timken bearings for Land Rover wheel, hub, axle and drivetrain repairs, from one of the best-established names in bearing manufacture.

Timken is particularly well known for tapered roller bearings, alongside a broader range of ball and roller bearing designs. Check the individual product page for vehicle fitment, bearing position and part-number details before ordering.

More than 125 years of bearing experience

Timken was founded in the United States in 1899 following Henry Timken’s development of the tapered roller bearing. The company has since grown into an international bearing and motion-technology manufacturer, while bearing engineering remains central to the Timken name.

Its bearing portfolio now covers tapered, cylindrical, spherical, thrust and ball bearing designs for automotive, industrial and other heavily loaded mechanical systems.

Why Twinwoods stocks Timken bearings

Bearings are not parts where saving a small amount is worthwhile if it means repeating the job. Accurate dimensions, consistent manufacture and the correct bearing design all matter when the component is carrying vehicle weight, controlling shaft movement or operating continuously under load.

Twinwoods 4x4 stocks Timken where we want a quality bearing from an established bearing specialist. The range can support wheel, hub, swivel, axle, engine auxiliary and drivetrain repairs without limiting this brand page to the products currently shown in the grid.

Match the bearing to the Land Rover

Bearings that appear similar can differ in dimensions, internal design, supplied races and intended position. Match the product to the Land Rover part number, vehicle, axle or component position and any fitment notes shown on the individual product page.

For more information about how we select the brands and parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4, see our Product Quality page.

Warranty

Buy with confidence: all new parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4 include at least 12 months manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.

Warranty cover applies to manufacturing defects. It does not cover misuse, incorrect fitting, competition use unless stated, contamination, modification, damage during installation, normal wear and tear, or failure caused by an unrelated vehicle fault. For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.

Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.

Warranty remedies relate to the part itself, meaning repair or replacement, or refund if those are not possible. Warranty does not cover labour, removal or refitting, diagnostics, consumables, travel or other incidental costs.

This warranty is in addition to your legal rights and does not reduce those rights.
