not 100% on all the changes but I know that they have stopped the issue of oil getting dragged up the lines now. Not a big deal but it is still an issue I encounter with customers cars quite often.

As for the issue of stock, RD136 (GQ & GU front) is a bit light on the ground, RD135's are a bit easier due to less ppl buying them and relying on rear LSD. The problem seems to be that even at max production, ARB is having difficulty keeping up with the increased demand from the locker promo where people get free compressors. Be Patient. I work for them and every time my lockers turn up, they end up in a customers car. If you've waited nearly 3 months, then cry.

Just got of the phone with an ARB rep, great news no more O-RINGS, new twin lip seal that they have been testing for the last two years. Plus the rep said theres a new heavy duty two peice centre for running bigger diameter tyres.

New upgraded lockers are only available for GQs currently.

Internet + I rang a my local store and they didn't know anything about the upgrade, they then rang the head office and were given the info, the odd thing was that my local store had the new upgraded lockers in stock!

I know there's no shim kits for the Dana 30 lockers in queensland .. they shipped D44 with em all .. so a few install's have ground to a stop.

Can they be retro fitted to old lockers?

i think some of you people have been hiding under a rock. the quad ring or 'xring' has been available for many years, also the two piece design is nothing new and has also been available for a while, though it has not gone through the whole range yet. i've been fitting these in my workshop for years.
