characterisc as most early 4WD vehicles) because of the locking

feature of the dierenal. Note: This spinning at high speed on-

road can cause vibraon if the drive sha is unbalanced or if the

vehicle has a li and the U-joint angles are not matched. If vibra-

on occurs, carefully check the front end components.

Free-wheeling front hubs cannot be installed in some

vehicles because of the axle assembly design. With a locker in

the front end and the transfer case in the on-road 2WD posion,

the only change in vehicle performance will be a slight decrease

in gas mileage and a shorter seal life for the drive pinion ange

and transfer case front output. The life of the drive gears and the

other bearings and seals will remain essenally unchanged.

If the vehicle is to be driven in cold weather, the drag

produced by the thick gear oil will cause a slight pull on the steer-

ing wheel. A soluon for this problem is to engage the discon-

nect mechanism so that both axle shas are spinning, or use a

lighter oil.

Vehicle Performance

General. The rst thing that you will noce about the

LOCK-RIGHT installed in the rear axle is that it’s hard to noce.

Unlike some other designs, it is almost inaudible during cornering

and operates with hardly any noise or jerking when driven prop-

erly. In two-wheel driving around town, your vehicle will behave

quite similar to how it did before the LOCK-RIGHT was installed.

Tracon. A LOCK-RIGHT installed in the rear axle of your

vehicle will result in much more tracon than ever before because

it prevents any wheel spin at all unless both wheels spin. When

either wheel begins to slip, the LOCK-RIGHT immediately trans-

fers more torque to the other one to keep you moving instead

of geng stuck. Thus, with a LOCK-RIGHT, the wheel with the

most tracon receives the most power. In a 4x4, this power-dis-

tribung characterisc is even more eecve with another one

in the front axle—giving your vehicle the ulmate in tracon. It
