Description
Conquer the toughest terrain with the ARB RD180 Air Locker, designed specifically for Nissan R180A front axles with 27 spline shafts and gear ratios of 3.69 and higher. This premium air locker gives you instant 100% traction at the flick of a switch, enabling superior off-road capability while maintaining smooth on-road performance.
The locker features a pneumatically operated locking system that prevents the differential gears from rotating independently, locking both axle shafts together for maximum grip. When disengaged, it operates like a standard open differential, ensuring safe, controlled driving on paved roads.
Built tough with a two-piece steel design, the RD180 offers extreme durability and reliability with minimal moving parts. Its patented timed locking mechanism ensures quick and strong engagement and fast unlocking, while the steel-reinforced elastomer annular seal is built to withstand the harshest environmental conditions worldwide.
The kit includes the Air Locker differential, activation switch, solenoid valve, air line, and bulkhead fitting. An air compressor (sold separately) is required for operation.
