if you call weaving caused by a rear locker locking and unlocking with
power application on sweeping turns, the rear completely breaking
loose and turning the vehicle sideways (instead of just a wheel
spinning) and the front end plowing due to a front locker stable...
than you've got a much different definition of stability than I.


Zenteren,

any auto locker in the front will cause the front to plow in turns as
a locker powers the slower moving inside wheel over the outer, faster
rotating wheel with an open diff. I think you'll be sorely
disappointed in the driveability problems caused by a front auto
locker.

as I always tell my wife, it's a hell of alot more important to be
able to steer, than it is to go.
