Auto Lockers... which one??
I have done a bloody front seal again and have needed to do wheel bearings for a while now so this time I want to fit a locker while it is apart..
Reading Growlers thread http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...nd-Auto-locker but wanted to know what locker is prefered and how hard are they to install ??? do you have to measure backlash???
Who runs what locker???????????????????
Yes I have had a search but the subject matter gets lost in all the dribble we are all good at and I start to zone out!!! yeah I know..??

Change room lockers aren't bad!!LOL
Lockrite or lokka, much the same in price and performance.
Comes down to personal choice or what your mate says!
You picked the wrong one, "Son" LOL

A few guys over here are running the spartan lockers, cheaper and stronger apparently.

Yeah price and location was the other question???
Setting the backlash was the only thing stopping me from doing it myself......

Save your money and get an air or electric lokka.
IMO you'll be disappointed in having auto lockka
in front, as you can't turn it off if for eg trying to catch up with the convoy.
You only use lockkas sparingly, maybe on the back but its N/R as great LSD
Your steering will be compomised as well, I would never put one in the front.
but some people swear by them, bet they'd swear at them if they fitted an air lockka.
Go for a drive with an experienced person with a lockka and see how many times and when they use it
Then follow doing same track, It may surprise you M2Cw

Same princible foot down locked, foot off unlocked right ??
Not my cup of tea, better options out there But thats just my opinion.
Had one in the rear of late 4x4 as I was offered at price I couldn't refuse.
Took it out . Not for me but you like them, hey Two different opinions
from two ppl who hav tried them. I'm just saying I wouldn't fit one

I think it comes down to personal choice and what you like. Holden and Ford bla, bla, bla. The only way BA will know is for himself. He will know if the auto locker is not for him.
For me I will be going air. I just want the choice of having it on or off, but thats not we are talking about here. What has Andy got in his? Actually BA it not a stupid idea to rub Andy up the right way and ask him for a drive in his to see what its like. You both have Q's...

3D, i understand you can't turn a Lokka "off", but im a bit confused as to why this would effect catching up with a convoy ?
Only thing i can think you may mean , is flicking the car into 2wd for a short road stint, if this is the case, a Lokka wont effect this .
Or did you mean something else ?
