Sorry, I did leave out (forgot !) one piece of important info on my post here and that is we run almost zeros scrub radius.Spider wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 6:08 pm
I run one in my Moke and my fellow travels do too. Many years back, prior to ATB's being available, I tried an LSD and I couldn't take it back out fast enough. In the Race Car, it was great on the track, but in a road car, it was dreadful. Before running the ATB in the Mokes, we found when off-road, we have to often run low tyre pressures (22 to as low as 12 PSI at times) to increase our footprint, however, with the open diffs, torque steer and wheel spin occurred often and worn & bust diffs were commonplace. Since going over to the ATB, we've found that the torque steer in these conditions has gone and I can't recall getting wheel spin, we're also able to drive through many more places, particularly in soft sand, than we ever were. They have been a game changer for us. I'll add here to that we all only run bone standard 1275's so power levels aren't at all high, circa 60 HP.
