JOINTS/AXLE SHAFTS/FLANGES ORIGINAL TYPE DEFENDEROriginal type joints, axle shafts, and flanges for all front and rear Defender models. Equivalent to the original parts fitted on the vehicle, made from high-quality materials, and possessing at least equivalent characteristics to the standard parts. Given the Defender’s weight and its frequent off-road use, if a standard axle shaft or joint fails, it is advisable to replace it with an original-equivalent part only if the vehicle is used moderately or driven very cautiously. Otherwise, consider reinforced parts as described in the “Reinforced Joints/Axle Shafts/Flanges Defender” section.Choosing a joint, axle shaft, or flange for a Land Rover Defender can be challenging; it cannot rely solely on the vehicle’s registration year or model. Particularly in transition years between models, different joints, axle shafts, and flanges may be used. Carefully check photos and contact us for clarifications on models. In addition to original-type Defender joints, axle shafts, and flanges, we offer a wide range of related parts such as gaskets, clips, circlips, O-rings, shims, and more, essential for a professional installation of new parts.
