locking dierenals because wind-up occurs even more quickly

than with standard dierenals.

Two LOCK-RIGHTs. The LOCK-RIGHT in the rear axle

produces about 70% of the total dierence in tracon between

two LOCK-RIGHTs and no LOCK-RIGHTs. Therefore, four-wheel

drive will be needed less oen than before because two-wheel

drive now will get you farther. If you are in four wheel drive

where it is not needed, the steering will tend to become ser

than normal because of increased fricon in the front axle uni-

versal joints and the vehicle also will tend to understeer. This

eect is produced by limited driveline wind-up and connues

unl one of the wheels slips a lile to reieve the tension. We

therefore recommend that you use four-wheel drive only when

you need it.

A Word About Noise. During the operaon of the many

vehicles in which the LOCK-RIGHT has been installed, we’ve

somemes noced a couple of “noises” which should be men-

oned.

a)Click. The LOCK-RIGHT released the outside

wheel in a turn. This means that its coupler (or side gear) rotates

faster than its driver so that the teeth passing by each other pro-

duce a uniform “click-click-click” that can somemes be heard

during turning. Cold weather and/or thicker oil will decrease the

sound. this clicking is completely normal and lets you know that

everything is funconing properly (also see the secon about

trouble-shoong on page 14).

b) Chirp. During cornering, the faster outside wheel

is free-wheeling; the slower inside wheel is under power but is

having weight transferred o as the vehicle leans toward the out-

side. Under a lot of throle on the street, it may “chirp” on the

pavement as it momentarily loses tracon and spins a lile to

catch up with the outside wheel. As soon as it is prevented from

rotang any faster by the outside wheel it regains tracon. This

acon may repeat several mes in the course of a powered turn.

This condion does not result from any re scung or dragging

as with some other lockers or limited slip dierenals. Applying

only a lile throle will eliminate the noise.
