Swivel Bearing Housing - New Part Introduction

MODEL

Discovery Discovery Defender

DETAIL

From the above Vin numbers the swivel bearing housings will have a ‘Nitrotec’ black finish. The new treatment provides durability benefits which will prevent pitting and flaking of the surface finish which under normal circumstances would result in corrosion. The new component can be retrospectively-fitted to all Discovery, Defender and Range Rover Classic vehicles. It is also acceptable to fit the new part with black finish to a vehicle that only requires the replacement of one swivel bearing housing.

The replacement of a swivel housing provides an ideal opportunity to introduce grease into the assembly as described in bulletin 54/02/96, it must be stressed that grease must be applied to both swivels and clearly identified as described in the aforementioned bulletin.
