ARB VS Opposite lock

[growler2058]

yea makes sense sorta

When youre in two wheel drive there is no "drive to the front wheels, they are just spinning over like a commodore lets say.
When you lock your hubs the front axles are now "joined to each other" easy way of saying it, but your normal centre on the front is an open wheeled diff (not LSD) so they will still spin independantly (still in 2wd) Now with a locker you are locking those axles together in 2wd with hubs engaged, but the auto locker (LoKKa Brand) unlocks through the turning circle hence the click click as the locking cam,lug, thingyamajig overides. When youre in four wheel drive you now have drive two both axles evenly, until you turn. However if you are heavily on the loud pedal it wont unlock when you turn your steering (inertia keeps it locked hence the need sometimes to back off a bit) Basically the LoKKA is always locked until you turn your wheels, there are little springs that push the components outward keeping it locked, until you turn then the natural difference in rotation ie outside wheel has a larger turning circle than the inside wheel forces the locker to unlock or over ride the machanism. Im sure that s clear as mud to you now hahahahahahhahaha bout the best i can explain without piccies. If you have a look here http://www.4wdsystems.com.au/index.php?id=66 may better explain
