Land Rover Part Number: LR009498 - Front Differential Assembly
LR009498 is a Front Differential Assembly. Fitted to the front axle, this assembly transmits drive from the prop shaft to the front wheels and houses the final drive gears and differential mechanism, including the ring and pinion, differential carrier and associated bearings and seals. It permits the left and right front wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering while retaining the correct gear oil level and protecting the gearset from contamination. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
This part is specified for Defender front axles from the 2007-2016 model series and is supplied in a heavy-duty configuration with a 4-pin flange for non-ABS vehicles. The heavier construction and 4-pin flange interface match the front driveshaft and flange connection used on these Defender front axles. Bearings and race seating are integrated into the assembly so the unit mounts directly into the front axle carrier and interfaces with universal joints or constant-velocity joints at the wheel ends.
When replacing the differential assembly, correct oil type and level, bearing preload and flange alignment are critical for long-term operation; these are procedures performed during axle assembly and wheel-end reassembly. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
