I've always been a fan of Detroit rear/ARB front combo (Real Detroit, not TT) but started really thinking about it.
An ARB is basically a spool when locked. Both sides turn identically, regardless. This makes it a bitch to steer while locked and is why I've always opined that a selectable locker is a necessity in the front.
A Detroit, however, allows either wheel to "overdrive". IOW, while going around a corner, the outside wheel can spin faster than the inside is being driven.
I'm just wondering if this would make the Detroit a good candidate for front axle use on a daily driver.
Please don't jump in with a bunch of second hand opinions, I'm looking for actual first hand experience.
Has anyone used a real automatic locker (Detroit or any of the lunchbox lockers that work the same way) in the front of a Disco and how is it for daily driving?
