This circlip is a small internal or external retaining ring used to secure the flange bearing within the front and rear axle bearing retainer assemblies on Land Rover Defender, Dis covery, and Range Rover models. It holds the bearing in axial position, preventing lateral movement under load. A missing, deformed, or incorrectly sized circlip can result in bearing migration, accelerated wear, and eventual flange or axle failure. Key Features Retaining circlip designed for use within the front and rear flange bearing retainer assembly Must be fully seated in its groove during installation - use circlip pliers to avoid distortion Matches OEM specification for the bearing retainer application across multiple Land Rover platforms Inspect and replace this circlip whenever the flange bearing or retainer is disturbed during axle servicing Vehicle Fitment Fits Defender (1986–2006 and 2007 onwards), Discovery 1 (1989–1998), Range Rover Classic, and Range Rover (1995–2002), all within the powertrain flange bearing retainer application.
