ARB Air Locker

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
As the world’s premier traction aid, Air Locker locking differentials allow you to tackle the toughest terrain and keep you moving in all conditions.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT:
Here’s another exciting addition to our Air Locker range, RD226 is suitable for the rear of Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ (1993- 1998), WJ (1999-2004), WK/WH SRT8 models (2005-2010) and Commander XK/XH 2WD (2006-2010). This new model compliments the existing front locker (RD100 or 101) for ZJ and WJ and completes the diff locking requirements for both front and rear on these vehicles. Unique to any other Dana 44 Air Lockers, RD226 is designed to meet the challenges of aluminium diff housings found on earlier models of the Grand Cherokee. Despite the shaft axle variance across the models, RD226 will accommodate both C-clip styles and non C-clip styles. This diff is relatively easy to remove and install. We anticipate the first production batch to hit the shelves in June 2014.
