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 Discovery 2 is the Td5 era, with self levelling rear air on some cars and ACE active roll control on others, and both matter when you order suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Discovery 2, chassis code L318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: Td5 diesel and 4.0 V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 1998 to 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: OE Supplier or Uprated or Genuine Boxed\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: pitted chrome tearing the seal and leaking oil down the wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 5 hours\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\u003eOE Supplier is made by the firm that supplies the factory, in its own box rather than a dealer box. Same part, same line, typically 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the dealer. Uprated is the revised or heavier duty specification, built for vehicles that are loaded, towed with and taken off road rather than parked outside a school. Genuine Boxed is in the manufacturer's own packaging with the manufacturer's number on it. Worth it for warranty work, lease returns or a car with full dealer history, and not otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solihull Spares","offers":[{"title":"OE Supplier","offer_id":54809490260301,"sku":"SLS-SWV-005-OS","price":194.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uprated","offer_id":54809490293069,"sku":"SLS-SWV-005-U","price":239.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Genuine Boxed","offer_id":54809490325837,"sku":"SLS-SWV-005-GB","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6247\/2269\/files\/Discovery_2_Swivel_Housing_Rebuild_Kit_db7fc93c-6916-4da3-92d0-79c20ec974c7.jpg?v=1790171315","url":"https:\/\/solihullspares.com\/products\/discovery-2-swivel-housing-rebuild-kit","provider":"Solihull Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
