Types of differentials/Traction aiding devices

[Peter D. Hipson]

ARB's can only be used on surfaces with a low coefficient of friction. That
is, off road, or drag racing. In either of these areas, who cares about
mileage! Strong: well, we beat the hell out of them on trails, and they
don't break very often. Most common problem is air leaks, etc.

to actually look at it.
