Description
What is an ARB Air Locker?
An ARB Air Locker is a selectable differential that engages for maximum traction on demand, significantly enhancing off-road capability.
How does an ARB Air Locker work?
Air pressure engages an internal locking mechanism within the differential, forcing both axle shafts to rotate at the same speed for ultimate grip.
ARB Air Lockers deliver unparalleled traction for weekend off-roading and serious rock crawling, achieving a top score of 9. This robust Air Locker Differential provides maximum grip when you need it most. Trust ARB to conquer challenging terrain with confidence.
What Owners Say
Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise ARB Air Lockers as virtually indestructible, with many reporting they've never experienced a single problem even under demanding conditions. The consensus is clear: these lockers are legit performers that can handle serious abuse without failure. Installation does require a fair amount of time, particularly for front differentials and the onboard air setup, and some users note that most issues trace back to installation errors rather than product defects. The air system's reliance on compressors, lines, and tanks does add complexity compared to simpler electric options. Still, ARB Air Lockers have earned their reputation as the gold standard for reliability in serious off-road applications.
