Dana 44 ARB Differential Cover


ARB happens to be one of the largest manufacturers and distributers of aftermarket off road parts and accessories in the world.  They are based in Australia and began in the mid-1970s when a man named Tony Brown decided that he wasn’t finding good enough parts and accessories available for 4WD vehicles.  He decided to return to his home in Melbourne and ARB was born.  His main focus was on improving upon the current practices so that accessories that were more durable could be made and marketed; accessories that could withstand all of the harshness of the off road world.

ARB is constantly improving.  They know that innovation is key to being successful in the industry.  Yes, they are at the head of the pack in terms of manufacturers and distributors of aftermarket off road parts and accessories in Australia while they are also a heavy hitter in the market globally, but they are constantly seeking out new ideas and innovations to bring to their already impressive product line.  Every single year, they invest quite a bit of capital into their product research, development and testing.  Their new products can spend years in development from the initial idea to the engineering and development, testing and even safety procedures before they are released to the public.  Because of this system, nothing that leaves the ARB warehouse is less than 100% stylish, durable, reliable and solid. 

Dana 44 ARB Differential Cover

When you trick out your rig with this differential cover made by ARB, the hazards of the trail won’t be able to keep you from getting where you need to be.  This cover has been cast from a solid piece of nodular iron and is heavy duty enough to give you the ultimate protection for your ring and pinion while also increasing the rigidity of your axle.  These covers have been made so that they simply bolt on to your Dana axle.

The axle’s weakest point is the sheet metal that the factory calls a differential cover.  Replace that tin hat with the maximum rigidity and burly protection that the ARB differential cover can give you.  The enhanced stiffness ensures that the pinion and ring gears are fully meshed which in turn gives you an increase in load strength as well as in the life of the components.  In addition, the exterior angled surface as well as the recessed bolt heads assist in optimizing those always important approach and departure angles.

Included with this cover are the dipstick, magnetized drain plug, mounting bolts and the cover itself.  With all of this, you will be able to adjust your oil levels for the angles while checking it for damage when you are in a jam.  If all this were not enough, the cover comes with a 2 year warranty!
