Smile How to lock the differential on a FWD car?
Anyone running an actuated fully locked differential for a front wheel drive car, can't find much information on the net

Man you would have horrible handleing if you did that, they make a locked differential for my car but I would rather stick with my LSD any day.

if you weld your diff together it wuld be called a lincoln locker hense the lincoln welder your gonna use. its not a good idea unless you want to hop around turns. if you weld the diff it completely eliminates any differential action in you trans. stick with the LSD, not the drug.

I don't think "hopping" is quite the term I would use.


More like, NOT turn at all. This is just ignorant.

You can probably use a phantom grip also.
