Land Rover Part Number: MTC3556 - Tailgate Hinge Assembly
MTC3556 is a tailgate hinge assembly fitted to HICAP and HCPU pick-up bodies. It mounts and locates the tail door, providing the pivot interface required for opening and closing. The assembly forms the mechanical joint between the tail door and the vehicle body on high-capacity pick-up variants, establishing the pivot axis, maintaining alignment when closed and carrying the load of the door during operation. Replace the assembly where hinge wear, excessive play or damage causes misalignment, rattles or uneven closing; these parts are specific to pick-up body variants that use larger tail doors and corresponding mounting points to avoid fitment issues at the hinge mounting and tailgate sealing surfaces.
