Land Rover Part Number: FRC4907 - Rear propeller shaft
FRC4907 is a rear propeller shaft that transmits drive from the gearbox output to the driven axle on 88 inch short-wheelbase Series Land Rovers. It can also be fitted into the front propeller shaft position on Series 1 80 inch and 86 inch wheelbase vehicles where specified. The shaft incorporates universal joints at each end and a splined section to allow axial length change during suspension travel; correct shaft length and balance reduce vibration and maintain smooth power delivery. When used in a front position, flange orientation and the mounting pattern must match the vehicle's gearbox and hub faces when replacing the component.
