ARB RD105 Air Locker Locking Differntial for 30 Spline C Clip Dana 35 with 3.54 and Numerically Higher Gear Ratio
The world's most highly regarded traction aid, an ARB Air Locker is a driver controlled locking differential originally designed to give serious 4 wheelers the traction needed to combat extreme off road terrain. When extra traction is required, the driver activates the Air Locker via a convenient dash mounted switch. Pneumatic pressure supplied by an on board air compressor engages ARB's patented locking mechanism within the Air Locker, thus preventing the wheels from turning independently. The Air Locker is deactivated by flicking a switch, returning the differential to normal.
ARB Air Locker's patented design has proved ultra dependable, even in the most arduous conditions. It's strength lies in its simplicity's minimal moving parts ensures maximum reliability. All structural components are manufactured from aerospace grades of high alloy steel, and where possible, we increase the number of differential pinion gears to distribute torque loads evenly. Many recent Air Locker designs also utilize timed gear sets to further improve strength, a design feature that has led to a second US patent on the product.
The Air Locker design process involves exhaustive testing. Computerized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) allows us to subject each Air Locker design to "virtual" off road simulations far more extreme than those encountered in real life. Destructive laboratory testing is carried out to ensure the strength of the Air Locker exceeds that of the axles or other driveline components. Environmental test cells subject prototype models to high (120ºC) and low (-24ºC) temperature running conditions, as well as harsh wheelspin engagement for cycle durations of more than 20,000 actuations. Finally, field-testing is carried out in the harshest environments imaginable.
Once the design phase is complete, Air Lockers are manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility in Melbourne, Australia. Available for both front and rear diffs, we have Air Lockers in over 100 configurations to suit a wide range of vehicles around the world.

ARB Air Locker Locking Differntial Reviews
This wasn’t a hard install. The compressor I purchased mounted easily under the hood and the wiring was a snap. Simple plug and play. The hardest part of the locker install was getting the axle assembly out. Once I had it on the bench, it was no problem. I installed the bearings and then used just enough shims to set it roughly in place so I could get a good location to drill the 7/16 hole for the air connection, then dropped and tapped my hole. I used my cordless grinder with a cutoff wheel to notch the lower side of the axle tube next to the bearing seats for additional drainage per the manufacturer instructions. Also had to take a touch off the end of the pinion which is also outlined in the instructions, since mine was one of those that touched the locker a smidge. I didn’t have to remove my pinion to do this. Setting up the backlash and preload was pretty much like any other diff. Finished everything up and put it back in. It works like a champ.
