Defender 110 Salisbury Rear Axle Assembly

Salisbury Rear Axle Assembly for the Defender 110: a remanufactured Salisbury rear axle for the heavy duty 110 and 130.

The differentials on these vehicles are strong when they are fed the right oil and are not asked to do things they were never built for, like big tyres and a heavy right foot on a locked centre diff. The Discovery 3 and 4 and the Sport L320 rear electronic locking diff is a known failure; the Defender Rover diff breaks shafts before it breaks gears. Everything here says what it is rated for and what it is not. The 110 is the working Defender: farms, estates, utilities and expeditions, usually loaded and usually towing.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 7 hours. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Remanufactured is stripped to the casting, measured, rebuilt with new bearings seals and wear parts and rig tested, with a surcharge refunded on your old unit. New Unit is a brand new unit rather than an exchange, for when your old one is past rebuilding or you cannot be without the vehicle while we assess the core.
