Robert Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Here is a stupid question... what the hell does it mean when you lock a diff? your rear wheels always turn at the same speed and same time even when turning. Quote
Des Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Welding the planatery gears in the diff together so it spins 2 wheels ALL the time at the same speed. An open center will get your reflex's going in the dry, Just takes more effort to get it side ways. Quote
2tgcoupe Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 And, a lock diff means rear tire wear will dramatically increase. Would make your car even harder to sell too.. If you were buying a car and the owner locked the diff, wouldnt you think it had been thrashed or driven like it was stolen? Quote
coln72 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 unless its a competition car. It would mean one less thing to do :cool: Quote
Mybowlcut Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 So not necessarily a good thing unless you're planning to get sideways or race? Quote
