ARB 4 x 4 Accessories: Dana 44 Air Locking Differential

The Dana 44 air locking differential that is made by ARB 4 x 4 Accessories has been designed to be able to give you traction on demand while you don’t have to sacrifice the highway performance of your rig.  These locking differentials use an ARB air compressor of 12 volts that has been designed specifically to activate and then deactivate the solid and quite durable locking mechanism that is located inside the differential itself.  This is what gives you that traction that you so desperately need right when you need it most, just by flipping a switch.  You can even do this without even leaving the driver’s seat.

Most people tend to think that a 4 WD vehicle and traction go together like eggs and bacon.  You can’t really enjoy one without having the other.  That said, the open differential that your rig came with was actually designed to allow for each of the wheels to turn independently from the others.  This works to eliminate any sort of binding when you turn.  However, this creates an issue when you are off road because the power from the engine will follow the path that offers the least amount of resistance – which means it will go right to the wheel that has the least amount of traction.  This is why you need the Dana 44 air locking differential – to get the traction to all of the wheels.
