Description

• Secures body to chassis for correct structural alignment
• Transmits shear and tensile loads into chassis rails
• Prevents body movement from worn or corroded mounts
• Galvanised UK‑made strap for long‑term corrosion resistance

The DDS Galvanised Rear Chassis Cross Member to Body Strap is a vital structural link on Land Rover Defender models from (v)2A627496 onward, forming the primary connection that secures the vehicle body to the chassis. This bracket transmits shear and tensile loads directly into the chassis rails, maintaining correct body alignment, door fit and panel gaps, while preventing unwanted movement caused by corrosion or fatigue at the mounting faces. Manufactured in the UK and hot‑dip galvanised for enhanced durability, it provides a long‑lasting solution that restores structural integrity and ensures the rear body remains securely fixed to the crossmember assembly.
