I've heard that the 4wd systems ones aren't as good. Can anyone verify this?

ive run a 4wd systems lokka for a while now ...and of course the only reason i took it was the price to get a locker in my car.
so after about 2 years it still works great and i run with a mate and he has arb - we both go the same places !
good bang for buck

richmond do the lockright and the powertrax lockers. the power trax is a different spline system and has very little back lash due to small trollerences and a small fine spline type teeth
I am yet to confirm if he powertrax system is available for patol, but are available for most toyo. they way I am doing them is $1200.00 exchange centre, but wont market them mainstream until I get the patrol answer.
most auto lockers are made for rear applications, and the only applicaions where they dont recoment front use is in full time 4wd vehicles. this is direct from the manafacturer.
aslo you patrol question, a rear will not do as mush as one in the front, but while the rear LSD is good it is still not a lockled diff and will unload itself between wheels and will still divert most power to the wheel with the least traction

If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
had one in the back of mine. broke 3 rear axles. i think this was mainly caused by the shockloads placed on the axle when it'd engage halfway around the corner on the road. when i pulled the broken axle out, the opposite side always had twisted splines (twisted, as in 1/8 of a turn, no some tiny twist)
i think a welded would be kinder on rear axles in a DD then a lockright

But welded sucks ass on road.

This is where most people get it wrong with auto lockers. They actually unlock going around corners.antt wrote:had one in the back of mine. broke 3 rear axles. i think this was mainly caused by the shockloads placed on the axle when it'd engage halfway around the corner on the road. when i pulled the broken axle out, the opposite side always had twisted splines (twisted, as in 1/8 of a turn, no some tiny twist)

user error, why blame the locker?antt wrote:thats exactly what i meancorkhead wrote:i think antt was refering to the situation if you give your car a boot load (around a corner) and cause wheelspin ..then the lokka will engage (but this time at speed) and cause greater strain on the whole drive line back there.
