Hi all,

I've got to swap the gears in my new dana 30 front axle, so I was thinking of fitting a locker/lsd while I'm at it.

I'm thinking of fitting a Powertrax Lockright, has anyone else fitted one in their front axle?

I'm planning to fitting freewheeling hubs too, to make it more civilised on the road.

This is the locker I'm looking at;

Are they ok?

Cheers Frank.

I have a mechanical lsd in my d30 on the 6, great and predictable

I have a Lokka / Aussie Locker in the front of my TJ, probably the best thing I've done to it.
