This feature will be available on The Ultimate Dana 60™ axle at the end of 2016 and on The Ultimate Dana 44™ axle in the Spring of 2017.</p><p></p><p>The ARB Air Locker utilizes a pneumatically operated locking system located inside the differential. When activated, the system stops the differential gears from rotating, preventing the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels locked into the rotation of the ring gear, the vehicle maintains maximum traction at all times. When unlocked, it operates just like a conventional “open” differential.</p><p></p><p>“The ARB Air Locker option allows the vehicle to be driven in a slower, safer, and more controlled manner, greatly reducing the likelihood of vehicle damage and environmental impact,” said Doug Wolma, vice president and general manager, Dana Aftermarket Group. “This gives off-roaders the traction they need, when they need it, all at the flip of a switch and all within the comfort of the driver’s seat. It’s the perfect addition for the serious off-roader.”</p><p></p><p>The Ultimate Dana 60™ axles, introduced at SEMA 2014, are bolt-in replacement upgrades for front and rear axles on the Jeep Wrangler.
