Diff lockers - Auto lockers v limited slip??

<< < (6/9) > >>

muddyweb:
If you are happy building / adjusting diffs, then it is a DIY job.  Slightly less work than doing an ARB, but essentially the same operations in the diff end.

LOFTY:
With trutrac, you need a shim for the crown wheel, to allow correct meshing of pinion after rebuild, it is possible without, but you have to adjust bearing almost out of thread. The supplier i used didnt mention this.
Fitting, well if you are ok with putting together diffs, "preloading, pinion alignment etc" then its easyer than ARB, no pipes etc. :P

From personal experience, Id never buy an auto locker again.
They have veeeeeery poor road manners, and arent all that strong.
I had a lockrite, broke it, they sent me a new un from the states, sold it on eblag, and fitted ARB's.
ARB's on the other hand are awesome. Unless they get muck in the valves and wont unlock :evil:
Anyone have a cure to put a filter or something on the air valve exhaust port??
Id buy ARB's, you get a compressor(very handy) and they actually work.
Cant comment on LSD's and the like, better for high speed stuff I would imagine.

I am still tempted by another ARB, not sold on the LSD yet but nearly.

If your running twin ARB's, had much breakages?  Its for challenge events, not speed.  Whats your thoughts?

Bulli:
Buy the ARB , you can switch it off...no breakages touch wood! 12 months of hard use
