The front left-hand chassis outrigger is a structural steel bracket that extends laterally from the main longitudinal chassis rail, providing a mounting point for the body tub and floor sections on the Defender. These outriggers are a known corrosion point on aging Defenders, as trapped mud and moisture accelerate rust from the inside out, leading to body mounting instability and failed MOT inspections. Replacing a corroded outrigger restores the structural integrity required for correct body alignment and legal roadworthiness. Key Features Left-hand front position - replaces the outrigger on the driver's side (RHD) or passenger's side (LHD) front chassis section Steel construction designed to weld or bolt into the existing chassis rail Matches OEM specification under part number STC8355 The right-hand equivalent should be inspected simultaneously, as corrosion typically affects both sides; check body mounting rubbers and floor cross-members when replacing Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender from 1986 to 2006 across all engine variants, and Defender 2007 onwards up to VIN 7A000001, front left-hand position.
