ARB Air Locker Differential Case Spreader Allows the housing to be stretched in a safe and controllable way which reduces the risk of causing permanent damage to the housing.Development - To ensure we meet your expectations  ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD  CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages  and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration  strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example  it is essential that the vehicle's crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan  Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements. What's more  we're also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices  from distribution to customer service.

Most common Salisbury style axle assemblies (e.g.  Dana Spicer model 44) require the use of a differential spreader in order to achieve the required carrier bearing pre-load during set-up. Stretching the housing casting (or pumpkin) open by sufficient enough force as to allow extra shim to be added to create the pre-load is the method that the OEM manufactures endorse  and most manufacture's have included special spreader sockets in the housing for exactly this purpose. Insufficient pre-load can result in bearing failure  or ring and pinion failure on any differential  and possible oil\/air leakage issues in an Air Locker Differential. As a part of ARBs Air Locker Tools range of differential service\/installation equipment  this specialty tool offers an easy  quick and highly effective way of pre-loading these axles.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd-On:N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProp 65 Yes\/No:No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle:ARB - 0770003 - Air Locker Differential Case Spreader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ARB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40363465179215,"sku":"ARB0770003","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/0770003_v1.jpg?v=1755998510","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/products\/arb-differential-spreader","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
