ARB vs.....

[CentralGrand]

I looked a "lil bit" and haven't seen this anywhere. Thought I'd share.

Totally biased and non scientific test. This test by itself doesn't proove much of anything.

 

[CentralGrand]

This is why I posted it:haha: Hear the reactions...

 

[KarlVP]

At the end of the test they say the failure point of the ARB is unknown. I would like to know the failure point.

there just saying they havent broken the arb with any axle they used yet

I think Longfields will break an ARB in a Toy front, I think the side gears give out if IRC. I have never done it but I think I have read this on the internet somewhere more then once.

I would like to see them use a Cryo'd shaft and find the weak link of the ARB.

Or has Bobby destroyed an ARB yet?:corn:

 

[zukkev]

Also doesn't mean that the ring & pinion wouldn't have been destroyed from the shock of the axle snapping with the ARB housing....would be interesting if they put them to the test in an actual diff housing with ring/pinion and all!!...:corn:

Very good video. ARB makes a great locker. I have broken several 35 spline axle shafts with no damage to the ARB differential. :awesomework:

I watched that video this summer when it was posted on PBB but seeing it again made me actually look up the cost of a arb for my 14 bolt... WAY less than I thought they went for. Guess I know what to save my nickles for now..

I've broke a cromo rear axle and it ate my ARB. I've broke a rear pinion and it ate my ARB.

 

[Eric]

I've broke a cromo rear axle and it ate my ARB. I've broke a rear pinion and it ate my ARB.

What part gave up on the ARB?

Sounds expensive.

I like spools.:redneck:

Karl, have you forgotten about my little escapade at rimrock?

 

[TrailTrash]

Well i guess i got lucky just broke my rear axle shaft and my arb is still good to go :bananadance:

 

[Damnyankee]

I've broke a cromo rear axle and it ate my ARB. I've broke a rear pinion and it ate my ARB.

but have you seen you wheel?
:awesomework::beer:

i like my spool and detoit,, EXEPT.. sidhilling in the snow blows. ass end always wants to push out.

its a decent test, probably the most controled you could do.

a real world test would be imossible due to variations.

 

[Binder]

its a decent test, probably the most controled you could do.

It would be a decent test if they did it about 100 times. Even then the failure point between the axle and the zip locker are so close it would be tough to tell.

 

[travisyota83]

ill take my proven ARB anyday over the zip

 

[Bunk1]

I like spools.:redneck:

Full hydro and selectable t-case eh? Steering rocks and until you feel the difference of selectable lockers you wont understand.

 

[little crawler]

Well since I put the ARB in My Front Rockwell it turns so much better and i have beaten the Hell out of it with NO problems I LOVE MY ARB IN MY ROCKWELL

Hydro assist, selectable, and a light ass rig. I run rocks it is a little hard to steer sometimes. One of these days I'd like to go ARB but its kinda low on my priority list right now because I don't think my axles are to much longer for this world.:redneck:
