Product Description

The ARB RD117 Air Locker differential delivers selectable traction control for Dana 44 axles with 30-spline shafts and 3.73:1 or lower gear ratios. Designed for serious off-road enthusiasts, this locker allows you to instantly lock both wheels together at the push of a switch, providing maximum traction in challenging terrain without compromising smooth on-road drivability in its unlocked state. When unlocked, it functions as a conventional open differential to preserve normal handling and driveline function.

Pneumatic actuation via an onboard air source and a dash-mounted switch enables rapid engagement and disengagement, letting you adapt to changing terrain with confidence. The robust two-piece design with reinforced seals ensures long service life under demanding conditions, with a system package that includes the locker carrier, activation switch, pneumatic solenoid valve, and air line hardware. Ideal for 4x4 vehicles equipped with Dana 44 axles in both front and rear applications, the RD117 enhances traction, control, and off-road capability while maintaining reliable on-road performance in everyday use.
