Review on ARB 170112 Kit: Enhanced Differential Axle Breather for Optimal Performance in 4WD Vehicle's Drivetrain Assemblies, Differentials, Transmission, and Transfer Case by Vincent Pavelko

Plastic Hose Rubber Free

The kit includes plastic pipes that cannot withstand real off-road conditions. Rubber hoses are commonly used for differential breather kits because rubber can remain flexible over a wide range of temperatures. This kit uses a plastic tube that is easy to break on any cold day or post-season hot weather. This kit arrived at my house in about 60F and the pipe was so hard I couldn't bend it by hand without breaking it. This would render the kit completely unusable. If you want to use fittings, you can replace the pipe with a rubber hose, but in this case just another set.

Pros
  • 8mm diameter polyethylene hose is oil resistant, water resistant and heat resistant, which makes installation easy and quick.
Cons
  • There are nuances
