The cross rod eye end is a threaded pivot fitting that connects the steering cross rod (drag link) to the steering arm or relay rod on right-hand drive Defender models. It allows articulation of the steering linkage while transmitting directional input from the steering box to the front wheels. Worn or damaged eye ends introduce play into the steering system, resulting in imprecise steering response, wandering, and uneven tyre wear. Key Features Threaded eye end designed for the cross rod steering linkage on RHD Defender configurations Replaces worn units exhibiting looseness, corrosion, or damaged threads at the rod junction Supplied to OEM specification as part number ANR2858, ensuring correct thread pitch and eye diameter Inspect the cross rod, relay rod, and all associated ball joints simultaneously when replacing this component, as wear is typically concurrent across the steering linkage Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender (right-hand drive) from 1986 to 2006, covering the steering system cross rod assembly.
