rear differential locker


Recommended Posts

on 13" street tires the tires will probably break traction before the stud axle breaks what turbosubarubrat said is technically correct but it only really applies to lifted offroad vehicle with big heavy tires,on factory tires the tires really don't have that much grip to do anything,especially if you run the rear tires slightly over inflated.

Any idea on cost? Patrick (ADF) made a locker proto type out of plastic and has everything ready for a company to make it. The only thing he was running into was the cost and lack of people ready to buy it since it would take like 100 people to make it cost effective.

We need a locker for the front the rear already has good options going for it lsd or welded both cheap comparativly and efective the solid axle opens up a whole new world but the front diff we have nothing i guess it to could be welded but thats not realy a option some kind of lsd or locker would be nice up front theres always the transfer case option but thats alot of fab work and probably not gona be streetable after that depending on how good a fabricator you are for $600-$800 i could buy and build a whole new rig weld it up lift it and put tires and rims on it for less im not spending that kind of money on novaltie items for a loyale especialy since the locker would be harder on parts than a lsd so slightly less reliable and considering you kinda have to be stuck or close to for the locker to engage and lock up unless its a air/electric locker your gona lose performance compared to a spool or welded diff so no real benifit to using a way over priced locker on a solid axle rig you cant just pull one axle shaft out for street use thats why there used alot on wheelers that are also used on the street
