LSD vs Diff Locker
Hi,
Even brand new clutch type LSDs are only very low percentage torque transfer to the non-spinning wheel. I am thinking of say 20 to 30%.
The whole reason Jeep and others go for vari-lok, traction control etc etc is that LSDs would cause massive tyre squeal around corners if they were designed to transfer any more torque. They MUST slip otherwise handling on road becomes like driving a locker on bitumen while still locked!
So if you are thinking that 30% of your torque will pull you through, as it often will, then they are fine. Just no comparison to 100% torque to the wheel with traction of a locker.
