How Long Do Jeep Wrangler JL Differentials Last?

Designed for durability and consistent performance, Jeep Wrangler differentials control how engine power is relayed to the wheels. Day after day, they convey that power through a set of gears that allows the wheels to spin at different speeds. This application of power is ideal for situations such as cornering, but they also avert excessive tire wear and help the vehicle remain stable through certain maneuvers. Typically, a differential lasts for the lifetime of the vehicle. 

If you frequently drive on rocky or challenging terrain, you know that standard differentials don't allow you to apply wheel power as needed to get you over difficult patches and obstacles. Locking differentials solve this common problem. When activated, they allow the wheels on each axle to spin at the same speed. Both wheels touching the ground and those in the air continue to spin, giving you the traction needed to power over those tough spots and keep moving. 

How Much Do Jeep Wrangler JL Differentials Cost?

Jeep differentials and components come in a broad spectrum of price points. For simple repairs, you may just need nuts or bolts. You can find items like these for under $20. Meanwhile, larger components and full differentials tend to cost more. Prices for aftermarket locking differentials typically start at $1,000. For example, ARB's Air Locker for Dana 30 axles retails for around $1050. Gear packages and complete gear/install kits also start at about a grand.
