Hi Gang,

I'm thinking about getting ARB air lockers in my WM300. I understand the difference between open and locking differentials and how they work.

But nobody has ever explained the significance by having 4 pinion gears vs just 2 pinion gears in the differential and how that simple change affects performance off road in 4x4 action.

Then I saw this:

Don't think they make one for the axles in the WM300, but interesting.
