Land Rover Part Number: TAU500080 - Front Axle Case Support
TAU500080 is a Front Axle Case Support that secures the front axle case within the front axle assembly. The support locates the axle case on the vehicle structure, transferring longitudinal and lateral loads into the chassis and ensuring the differential carrier and wheel bearings remain correctly aligned with the subframe. Corrosion, distortion or damaged fixing holes can allow movement of the axle case, which may cause driveline noise, increased bearing wear or seal leakage; replacement restores the original mounting geometry. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N. and inspect the support and its fastenings after impact events or when symptoms of axle case movement are present.
