The symptoms are oil down the inside of the wheel and a failed MOT. Hub bearings and steering joints wear faster on a vehicle with larger tyres, and we size parts for that. The 130 is the long wheelbase crew cab and pick up, and it carries its weight on the rear axle, which changes which parts wear first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Defender 130, chassis code LD 130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: 300Tdi, Td5, 2.4 and 2.2 Puma diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1984 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Standard or Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions on these vehicles are frequent and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: shimmy after a bump at speed on a solid axle vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: none.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. Heavy Duty is the heavy duty specification for expedition, towing and commercial use, rated beyond the factory figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solihull Spares","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":54809494683981,"sku":"SLS-SWV-020-S","price":74.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavy Duty","offer_id":54809494716749,"sku":"SLS-SWV-020-HD","price":84.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6247\/2269\/files\/Defender_130_Steering_Damper_5918b06b-a090-4657-b776-14674a171112.jpg?v=1790171316","url":"https:\/\/solihullspares.com\/products\/defender-130-steering-damper","provider":"Solihull Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
