High tensile, solid
nodular iron differential cover. Ideal for competition
rock crawling or use on extreme off road trails.
When
off road, it is inevitable that obstacles and off road
hazards will be encountered that could potentially
inflict expensive damage to your differential. To
prevent this, ARB manufactures the Differential Cover.
Using high tensile nodular iron, it has been engineered
to protect the differential and ring and pinion set from
any off road hazards.
Coming in a red powder coat finish, the
differential cover is available to suit a
select range of differentials with further
details available from ARB.
FEATURES
Computer optimised cross brace design
increases the structural rigidity of the
whole axle
Additional housing strength helps keep
the ring & pinion gears meshing on the flat
faces of the teeth, greatly increasing ring
& pinion life and overall maximum load
strength
Top quality, high power neodymium
magnets are used in both the drain plug and
the dipstick to collect metallic wear
particles as the vehicle moves
Magnet location in the end of the
dipstick allows the oil to be checked for
tell-tale signs of internal damage
Prolonged carrier bearing life due to
extra support to the bearing alignment
Approach/departure angle optimised by
angled exterior surfaces
Unique dipstick/filler cap design allows
differential oil level to be adjusted for
customised high driveline angles

The computer optimised cross brace design increases the structural
rigidity of the whole axle. This additional strength
reduces housing flex which helps keep the ring & pinion
gears aligned in perfect mesh (full tooth surface
contact). This effectively increases ring & pinion life
and overall maximum torque load. Reduced housing flex
also means better carrier bearing alignment, which will greatly prolong
the life of the bearings.
The combination of the high filler point and dipstick
design also allows the differential oil level to be
adjusted higher to compensate for customised high
driveline angles.
Supplied with high tensile cap screws that are recessed
into the cover for protection against obstacles that
might damage or loosen them, the Differential Cover's
drain plug has also been designed with a low profile to
resist damage. All ARB Differential Covers come equipped
with drain plugs, even for applications like Dana Spicer
models that never actually came with a drain plug of
their own.
One of the major features of the ARB Differential Cover
is the top quality, high power neodymium magnets in both
the drain plug and dipstick. These collect metallic wear
particles from your oil as the vehicle moves. Removing
the dipstick allows an easy infield check for water
contamination (foam on the dipstick) or the tell-tale
signs of internal damage (any larger particles which
will also collect on the magnet), all without having to
drain any oil.
To complete the design, all covers are finished in a red
powder coat, CNC machined, and finally clear coated for
a durable, professional, long lasting finish. ARB's
Differential Cover is perfect for both competition and
4WDing use where harsh off road work is to be
encountered. Our engineering team is currently involved
in developing a range of covers to suit Dana 30, 35, 44
and 60 differentials, catering for vehicles including
the Ford F250, Land Rover Defender, Jeep Wrangler and
Jeep Cherokee XJ. For the latest information on
