Hi guys,
Just to double check, the ARB locker Lowrange offroad sell the RD208 here: http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/index.ph ... ocker.html

This will fit the rear of my Suzuki Sierra 1997?

Yup - new design from ARB, they're updating the whole range. Apparently the patent restrictions or something on the originals has expired, so they're having to stay ahead of all the knock-offs by redesigning.

That was the story from an ARB sales guy anyway - explaining why a locker for an 18yo car was still in development...

if the new design has pissed off the piss weak plastic piston used in the old style & chinese knock offs, it is a FAR SUPERIOR design.

have a search for ARB broken piston in air locker, it's actually quite common. a few people on here including myself have had the old style of locker fail due to the plastic piston breaking.
