ARB Air Locker Differential Spreader

The ARB Air Locker Differential Spreader is a professional automotive tool that no differential installer should be without. Most common Salisbury style axle assemblies, including the Dana Spicer model 44, require a differential spreader to achieve the required carrier bearing pre-load during set-up.

Stretching the housing casting, or pumpkin, open with sufficient force allows extra shim to be added and creates the required pre-load. This is the method endorsed by OEM manufacturers, and most manufacturers include special spreader sockets in the housing for this purpose. Insufficient pre-load can cause bearing failure or ring and pinion failure on any differential, as well as possible oil/air leakage issues in an Air Locker Differential.

As part of the ARB Air Locker Tools range of differential service/installation equipment, this specialty tool provides an easy, quick and highly effective way to pre-load these axles.

Key features:

  • Allows the housing to be stretched in a safe and controllable way, reducing the risk of causing permanent damage to the housing
  • Pre-drilled with a hole pattern that suits most commonly available axle types
  • Suited to pre-loading shim adjusted Banjo style axle assemblies
  • Comes in a durable carry case with a dedicated powder coated parts tray for easy storage and transport
