diffs

[woodentop]

i have been informed that you can weld certain cogs in the diff to act as lockers has some one tried this,and does it work

I know it's a common mod to do on suzuki sj's.

Makes them hard to turn though ...... not ideal for road use

its known as a lincoln locker

not a good idea as you will brake shafts everey time you go out(unless you upgrade them) and it wont turn corners. i welded the rear diff in my friends girlfriends drift car.

Nota good idea, because you will probably end up snapping a shaft or twisting the splines driving it on the road with the diff locked / welded.

Some friends were planning on welding their rear diffs and removing a half shaft for use on the road, but  manual locker is a more practical solution. Having a permenantly locked diff can bes as much of a problem off road as it can be off road.
