Land Rover Part Number: RTC5842 - Left Hand Front Halfshaft - Non ABS
RTC5842 is a Left Hand Front Halfshaft - Non ABS. Fitted to non-ABS front axles, this halfshaft transmits drive torque from the front differential to the left front wheel hub while accommodating suspension movement and steering articulation. The shaft locates into the differential and wheel hub via splines and a constant velocity joint interface. Typical wear items are joint boots and splines; damaged boots allow lubricant loss and contamination that accelerate joint wear. When replacing the halfshaft, inspect mating flange faces, hub bearings and any related seals for damage that can affect alignment and joint life. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.
Compatibility
- Discovery 1 (to 1992) - To VIN JA032850
- Range Rover Classic (1988-1992) - From VIN EA305590 to VIN JA624754
Frequently Asked Questions
The RTC5842 halfshaft transmits rotational force from the front differential to the left front wheel via a splined shaft and constant velocity joint, while allowing for steering articulation and suspension movement. Common failure modes include torn joint boots and worn splines; torn boots permit lubricant loss and contamination which accelerates joint wear. When fitting a replacement, check mating flange faces, hub bearings and seals to avoid misalignment and premature joint failure.
