rear diff wound up

<< < (5/6) > >>

chris9119:
stupid question, but what has the diffs/transfer box got to do with steering..... diffs/transfer go around and around, the steering goes side to side and technically, are not interconnected other than the half-shafts......

tack43:
During cornering (turning) the front wheels travel different distances ( radius). With difflocks engaged the wheels will want to travel the same distance. Somethings got to give either wheel slip, something breaking (diff, halfshaft) or the steering tries to staighten itself (heavy steering). This will be noticable with centre difflock engaged an even more so with axle lockers engaged!

If you have front and rear lockers and a center diff then you really are 4WD Most 4x4's are effectively 2wd because if you engage the center diff and lift a wheel on each axle off the ground (cross axled) you wont go anywhere because the drive (power) takes the path of least resistance.
