ARB Differential Breather Kit

This ARB drivetrain component is the Differential Breather Kit for 1996-2001 Toyota 4Runner. Confirm the exact axle or differential model, spline count, gear ratio, carrier break, bearing and seal requirements, air-system compatibility, and all application notes before ordering.

Key Features

• A differential/axle breather serves the important purpose on a 4WD vehicle of venting the air pressure in drivetrain assemblies such as the differential transmission and transfer cases.
• There are many short comings to this style and the ARB Differential Breather Kit is designed to eliminate these by providing a high flow zero back pressure zero vacuum breather system.
• With an air bag equipped vehicle for example it is essential that the vehicle’s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed.
• What’s more we’re also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices from distribution to customer service.
