ARB's Air Locker Differential Spreader is a professional
automotive tool that no differential installer should be without. 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 Βpumpkin') open by
sufficient enough force as to allow extra shim to be added to create the pre-load is the method that the
OEM manufacture's endorse, and most manufacture's have included special Βspreader sockets' in the
housing for exactly this purpose.
Designed by ARB to quickly and easily install onto most shim adjusted automotive differentials.
Allows the housing to be stretched in a safe and controllable way which reduces the risk of causing permanent damage to the housing (i.e., from overspreading the housing).
Pre-drilled with a hole pattern that suits most of the commonly available axle types.
Also suited to pre-loading shim adjusted Banjo style axle assemblies (e.g., Isuzu 26 spline).
Comes in a durable carry case with a dedicated powder coated parts tray for easy storage and transport.
Economically priced at roughly the labor & materials cost of having to re-preload one axle (i.e., a differential that was set-up without a spreader that is now showing symptoms of under pre-loading).

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 ARB's 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.
