diff lock in front!!!problems??

Post by 5lefi60 »

Hey guys I have just fitted a lockright I brought second hand in the front of my 60.Me being a lazy prick didnt take much notice and fitted it without doing ne thing to it as it was complete in the center but now it does not seam right a mate has one and can feel it when the hubs are in but can drive it round ok on road or off road with the hubs in but I can barly turn even on gravel has anyone had this problem before? I think it my need adjusting(re shiming to correct clearance) but thought I would ask hear if ne one has the same sorta probs before????? I cant even turn it on the road at all and it makes no noise at all u can hear is the tyres skidding as u turn (like it is locked all the time and not freewheeling when u turn)any idears?????????

Autolockers (they should be called auto-unlockers) are designed to lock your diff all the time and only unlock to allow the outside wheel to spin faster when you need to go round corners.

I've got a lokka in the front and lockright in the rear and I have similar issues that you have with the rear when on road (2wd, hubs unlocked). It is very reluctant to unlock and will make the tyre skip.

I don't feel the same issues with the lokka though. The steering is a bit heavier but I am still able to corner ok.

Mine did this. I was ready to rip it out and re-check everything, and then after one good wheeling trip it seemed to "bed in" and now works as it should.

Sounds stupid but is it the same ratio, sounds as tho it would be as the problem is only when turning.
