Description

Overview

The ARB 0750008B is a black iron differential cover for the rear Nissan M226 Dana 44 axle type. It is made from high tensile nodular iron with a black powder coat finish, and it is built to protect the differential, ring and pinion from off-road hazards. Those hazards are hard to avoid and can cause expensive differential damage.

The cover has a cross brace design that increases the rigidity of the entire axle. The extra housing strength helps the ring and pinion gears keep meshing on the flat faces of the teeth, which supports longer gear life.

The black cover carries the same neodymium magnets in its drain plug and dipstick, which ARB says catch metal wear particles while the vehicle is moving. ARB also says off-road hazards are hard to avoid and can cause expensive differential damage, which the black cover is built to resist.

Key features

  • High tensile nodular iron body
  • Cross brace design for rigidity, per ARB
  • Neodymium magnets in the drain plug and dipstick
  • Dipstick magnet location lets the oil be checked for internal damage
  • Black powder coat finish

Black cover fit and care

A black powder coat cover does the same job as the red version, so its purpose is protection and oil containment rather than appearance. Before installing, confirm the axle housing is clean and that the gasket or sealant surface is free of old residue. Clean surfaces help the cover seal and make leaks easier to spot later.

Rear axles that see deep water or mud benefit from checking the cover seal after each trip, since moisture can work into any gap and leave rust on the flange. Touch up chips in the finish early, and keep the drain plug and dipstick magnets clean so they keep catching metal particles. Gear oil level should be checked at the dipstick after a few trail runs, because a new seal can settle slightly.

Questions & Answers

Is the 0750008B cover for a rear Nissan M226 Dana 44 axle?

It is for the rear Nissan M226 Dana 44 axle type. Confirm the fit against your axle housing and your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering.

How does the black version differ from the red one?

Its finish is black powder coat rather than red. It has the same iron body, magnetic drain plug and magnetic dipstick as the red M226 cover, with a cross brace design for rigidity.

Does the cover have magnets?

Yes. Neodymium magnets in the drain plug and dipstick collect metallic wear particles as the vehicle moves, and the dipstick magnet helps show internal damage in the oil.

Does the cover add rigidity?

ARB says its cross brace design increases the structural rigidity of the entire axle, which it links to longer ring and pinion life and higher maximum load strength.

How do I check the cover seal after a trail trip?

Look at the seam between the cover and the axle housing for oil or mud residue after each trip. Tighten any loose mounting fasteners to the torque the axle service procedure calls for, and watch for seepage the next time you check the oil.
