Thread: Salisbury Diff Guard - ARB or others?

Personally, I would go for this one:


EDIT - US$84
http://www.solidaxle.com/ProductCart...5&idcategory=7

They have a couple of AU dealers, but they don't list the Sals/D60 cover.

(unless of course you can get ARB to price match?)

Crikey...looks like it will withstand a nuclear explosion

Any details of where they are available?

Cheers

I did some googling and found the solid axle industry version.

I also found this test......

The ARB has the (minor) advantage of having a drain plug in the bottom:

Hmm, maybe someone should forward a copy of this test to the ADF......

BTW, the Solid cover (used to be ?) cast here.

I have the earlier incarnation (Rockcrusher)

I fitted the ARB front and rear on my 101 landrover.
A strong cover is specially important on the 101s front diff as it gets knocked all the time.
I have no complaints with them and the correct allen head bolts were supplied.
The cover makes oil leaks after shaving the diff harder and the ARB item is thick and tuff.
It also has a oil level dip stick set up so you can run the oil level where ever you want.
I also found it is slightly more compact than the standard cover.
The only draw backs appear to be
1/ the dip stick set up needs a allen key to undo and it is easy for dirt to fall into the diff whisle checking the level.
2/ I suspect there is less cooling surface for the diff oil.
