{"product_id":"lock-washer-drive-shaft","title":"Lock Washer - Drive Shaft for Discovery 1 (1989 – 1998) (Up to JA032850) – FRC8002","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FRC8002 is a lock washer fitted to the drive shaft on early Land Rover axles, functioning to secure the drive flange retaining nut and prevent it from backing off under rotational load and vibration. Without a serviceable lock washer, the drive flange nut can loosen progressively, leading to play in the drive shaft, accelerated bearing wear, and potential loss of drive. Replacing this washer during any drive shaft or hub overhaul is essential to maintaining correct preload and torque retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTabbed lock washer design mechanically locks the drive flange retaining nut against rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShould be replaced any time the drive flange nut is removed - tabs deform on initial locking and are not reusable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets OEM specification for Land Rover axle assemblies up to the listed chassis and axle number breakpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck condition of the drive flange splines and hub seal when fitting - both are common wear points at this service interval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Discovery 1 (1989–1998) up to chassis JA032850, Defender (1986–2006) from axle number 22S08284B to KA930455, and Range Rover Classic up to chassis JA624516, both ABS and non-ABS variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
