Land Rover Part Number: MXC8284 - Right-Hand Upper Front Door Hinge
MXC8284 is a Right-Hand Upper Front Door Hinge that locates the upper edge of the right-hand front door and provides the primary pivot for opening and closing. The hinge secures the upper corner of the door to the vehicle body, aligns the door to the shut face and supports repeatable closing position under load. The right-hand hinge includes provision for mirror-mount holes where required; it is a body-mounted component that interfaces with the corresponding lower hinge and the door check strap. Correct hinge alignment is important to avoid wind noise, uneven door gaps and premature wear of door seals; adjustment is performed at the hinge mounting points on the door and body.
