EZ Locker/Lockrite in the front only.

Hi,

Has anyone here fitted an EZ locker to just the front diff of their Jimny?

If so, how does it handle in 4wd? Does it tend to understeer a lot or does it improve manoeuvrability?

Front lockers can normaly be used when the wheels are straight or both spinning well thats what i hurd any way

Easy answer is when the front axle is locked its point and hope steering I very much compromised

This type of diff only locks when a wheel spins (regardless of whether you are turning or not) or if you are accelerating in a straight line.

When you are turning all drive goes to the inside wheel and the outside wheel freewheels. If the inside wheel looses grip, as soon as it reaches the same speed as the outside wheel the diff locks and both wheels drive at the same speed.

My question is has anyone ever fitted one to just the front axle, and if so what effect did it have on the steering and handling offroad?

Have you used one Dave?

with a locked front diff aka ARB you can steer but you just break halfshafts

we only rarely use our front one - ususally when its doing this
