Land Rover Part Number: FTC5142E - Differential
FTC5142E is a front differential assembly fitted to the axle. Mounted on the axle, it transfers torque from the driveshaft to the axle half-shafts while allowing the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering.
Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
Inside the housing a ring-and-pinion set reduces and redirects rotation and a differential gearset permits wheel speed differences when turning. Bearings and seals support the gears and retain lubricant; worn bearings, damaged gear teeth or leaking seals will affect noise, load transfer and overall axle performance. Regular inspection of lubricant condition and for external leaks is recommended as part of routine axle maintenance.
Compatibility
- Defender (1994-On) - Front or Rear Differential, 24 spline shaft
- Discovery 2 (1998-2004) - Front Differential (L318)
- Range Rover Classic - Front or Rear Differential (some models)
Frequently Asked Questions
The FTC5142E is a differential assembly that converts rotational input from the driveshaft into the split output required by the left and right half-shafts. Its ring-and-pinion and differential gearset allow wheel speed differences while cornering, and internal bearings and seals support the gears and retain lubricant. Inspect for worn bearings, damaged gear teeth or external oil leaks as these are common causes of reduced performance and noise.
