Fat_KE70 Regular Location: Shepparton Registered: October 2002	Re: Locked diff Tue, 07 January 2003 11:45 MMMMMMMMM Lockers are heaps of fun. Till you break something that is. When i had a T18 ass end in my car it had a 4:11 Locker in it which i welded myself. I laid a couple of bolts across the sun gears and tacked them in place, then welded the sun gears to the carrier and then proceeded to fill the whole thing up with mig. When you do it you have to be careful not to get it too hot of the case hardening will go out the window and it will very quickly whine to the point of insanity. Then let it cool down in the open air. may take 4-5 hours before you put it in. with the 3t in my car it was enough to spin 2nd everyday of the week and 3rd in the wet (with 13x7's) I pulled it out cos i decided to get a missus and it was too hard driving around with her complaining about the bouncing on u turns and sideways moments(daily). I then put a ta22 diff in (anouther 4:11) but thins time an open wheeler. and i was doing nuts at tafe one might and twisted the whole housing and bent control arms and panhard rod mounts!!! so next day i went to the wreckers and got a stock corolla ass end and bolted that in along with all of my spare control arms and i reshaped the panhard mount. If my ke70 wasnt a daily driver then i would put a locker straight back in (i'd even go back to tassie to find my old locker which is covered up in the bush somewhere for safe keeping!) but it is a daily driver so i cant do that... Like TOYROTA said they are one of the most predictable things to put in your car cos its gunna react the same way every time and you just have to modify your driving style to suit the steering issues. But even just driving normally on one you will go through a shiteload more tyres on the rear. But hey....its fun [Report message to a moderator]
