Land Rover Part Number: FTC5298 - Right-Hand Swivel Pin Housing
FTC5298 is a Right-Hand Swivel Pin Housing that locates the swivel pin within the front axle and forms part of the steering swivel assembly. Fitted to the front axle of Defender and Discovery 1 models, the housing provides the fixed mounting and bearing surfaces that allow the steering knuckle to pivot while carrying vertical and lateral loads between the wheel hub and axle components. Correct seating and condition of the housing maintain intended steering geometry and bearing alignment; wear, corrosion or damage can produce play at the swivel joint and affect steering precision and wheel alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
FTC5298 locates the swivel pin and provides the bearing surface within the front axle as part of the steering swivel assembly. It positions the swivel pin so the steering knuckle can pivot while transmitting vertical and lateral suspension loads into the axle casing. If the housing becomes worn, corroded or damaged it can introduce play at the swivel joint and affect steering precision and wheel alignment; replacement restores the correct bore and load paths when the swivel pin and bearings are reassembled.
