The ARB Air Locker RD99CE is a competition-grade, driver-selectable locking differential for the Ford 9" housing with a 35-spline centre and 2" carrier bearings. Flick the dash switch and an open axle becomes 100% locked for maximum traction; release it and the differential behaves exactly like a factory open unit for safe, predictable street driving.
This Competition Edition uses ARB's forged four-pinion centre and a heavy-duty design aimed at high-horsepower, big-tyre race and rock builds. Air-operated engagement through an ARB on-board compressor is instant and repeatable, with no speed, load, or ratcheting compromises.
