Which handling characteristic does such a locker produce?

  • A.Abrupt engagement and understeer under power
  • B.Neutral handling in every condition, since the locker engages only when the difference in speed becomes large
  • C.Oversteer
  • D.A tendency to wander in a straight line, which follows from the ratcheting action of the mechanism at low speed

Answer: A

The unit locks as soon as power is applied, forcing the vehicle to run wide, and the transition between locked and free is abrupt. Wandering at light throttle is also reported. The behaviour is accepted off road but is unpleasant on the highway. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb.
