Installing PowerTrax LockRight, Suzuki Samurai, Part 4 of 4.
The Jeep locker is now installed and I checked it by raising one wheel with a jack and driving it right off the jack, with either tire. Some people said they were noisy going around corners, but I remembered an old trick. The trick is to use ultra-high performance fluid (like Royal Purple) and that is what greatly cuts down the clicking noise. It uses a racket mechanism for complete lock up of both tires in low traction situations. It is much better than posi-traction.
This install was more difficult because it was a Suzuki. The locker will totally lock both wheels in low traction situations only. A regular vehicle could not drive away with one tire off the ground. The tire off the ground would just spin and the vehicle would not move. With the locker, as soon a traction is lost, the internal racket locks and both rear tires have traction.
If you install one locker you want it to be in the rear versus having the locker on the front wheels where the steering is. This a full time locker. On the trail having lockers on both axles may be a huge advantage in going through mud, sand or snow. But when driving on the streets in the snow, a front locker can be harder to control when you are going around turns and corners. When driving in snow on the roadways with a front locker, you would be better off locking only one hub and locking the other hub in a situation where it may be needed. With the rear locker only you will stay pretty stable on snowy roadways and you might find that the rear locker may be good enough to get through the snow without using the 4 wheel drive.
