If the front diff is locked, the car will begin to load up on the wheels in a turn. This would be especially noticeable at low speed say in a parking lot. In reverse the same would happen but due to the gearing and the usual slow speed a car is at in reverse it would be even more pronounced.
Correct me if I am wrong with any of that. Why?
My car is doing exactly that. I bought a freshly rebuilt Stage 2 Shep Trans and I think the front diff has a locker in it. I keep forgetting to spin the wheels when they are both off the ground to be certain. The guy I bought it from said it had a standard open front diff but I believe this may be false. At higher speeds, it isn't a problem. Going forward, taking a turn, I don't even notice it. However pulling out of my garage I have to take a big turn. In reverse, it will actually begin to stop the car. I only park in pull through spots now or a place where I can back up straight and then turn once going forward. Does anyone else have a locked front diff and could verify these same goings on?
