The ARB Dana 44 differential cover is a nodular iron heavy-duty upgrade for one of the most common and capable axles in the off-road world. The Dana 44 is found front and rear on Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon models, and rear on many JK Sport/Sahara builds — the factory cover is thin stamped steel that offers no real protection on the trail. The ARB cover adds serious impact protection, more gear oil capacity, and a neodymium magnetic drain plug.
Features & Benefits
- High tensile nodular iron — significantly stronger than OEM stamped steel cover
