Land Rover Part Number: LR049068 - Lower Rear Suspension Link
LR049068 is a lower rear suspension link fitted to the rear suspension of Defender models. This structural trailing arm locates the rear axle and controls longitudinal movement, resisting fore-aft loads generated during acceleration, braking and gear changes while allowing vertical articulation through its mounting points. Correct operation of the link helps maintain axle positioning, track stability and consistent wheel alignment; excessive wear, corrosion or damage may produce noise, uneven tyre wear or degraded handling and should be addressed to restore correct rear axle location. This assembly is supplied for use with the associated links, springs and dampers that control lateral and vertical axle movement.
