Front Differential Assembly with ARB Air Locker & Solid Pinion Spacer - Nissan Patrol Y62

This is a complete, professionally assembled front differential centre, designed to be a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory unit in your Nissan Patrol Y62. This assembly is a significant performance upgrade, featuring a selectable ARB Air Locker and a heavy-duty solid pinion spacer, making it the ultimate solution for serious off-road performance and reliability.

This upgrade is essential for any Y62 owner who takes their vehicle off-road. The factory front differential is 'open', meaning if one front wheel loses traction (e.g., lifts off the ground or is on a slippery surface), all the engine's power to that axle will go to that spinning wheel, bringing your forward momentum to a halt. An ARB Air Locker allows you to manually lock the differential at the push of a button, forcing both front wheels to turn at the same speed and providing maximum traction. The solid pinion spacer is a crucial reliability upgrade, replacing the standard crush tube which can deform under heavy loads, leading to incorrect gear mesh and eventual failure.

Ignoring these limitations can leave you stranded on a trail, unable to proceed over an obstacle a locked vehicle would clear with ease. Furthermore, continuing to use the factory crush tube in demanding conditions, especially with larger tyres, can lead to catastrophic differential failure, resulting in a costly and inconvenient recovery and repair.

Product Features

• Maximum On-Demand Traction: Features a genuine ARB Air Locker (RD247), providing 100% lockable traction to the front wheels to conquer the most challenging terrain with confidence.
• Enhanced Drivetrain Strength: Includes a solid pinion spacer which replaces the weak factory crush tube, ensuring consistent pinion bearing preload and preventing gearset damage under extreme shock loads.
• Professionally Built & Ready to Install: Assembled by expert technicians to precise specifications, guaranteeing correct gear backlash and bearing preload. This saves you the time, specialised tools, and complexity of setting up a differential from scratch.
• Premium Components: Utilises ARB's patented two-piece design with forged gears for superior strength, housed within a high-quality differential carrier for ultimate reliability.
• Direct Bolt-In Solution: Designed as a complete centre to be installed directly into your existing front differential housing, minimising vehicle downtime.
