LOFTY:
Ah, i believe muddy and i are talking at cross perposes, i am talking about a truetrac diff, which is a torque biased diff, which balances drive automatically through worm gears, rather than a auto locking diff, which is also made under the Detroit name, which i believe you should never put in the front axle.
The truetracs are the same as a quaife design diff used in rally cars, this helps traction, and removes a lot of the torque steering in front wheel drive rally cars.
Another thing which Ashcroft dont normally tell you untill you buy a truetrac, is you must have a metric diff housing, and you also need a spacer for the crown wheel, oh and what spline type on your half shafts.
I love them to bits, you know you got max traction, and can still steer full lock. :P

You might be right Lofty..

To clear things up....    I run a TruTrac torque biasing diff in the front which provides a pretty good limited slip action... and an ARB air operated full locker in the rear.
