Understanding LSD, past & current.

[grimmjeeper]

I have, my 89 Bronco’s steering was diminished in heavy snow or mud just as my 63 Jeep with mechanical lockers. I did learn that unlocking a hub was helpful, so it didn’t tend to plow straight ahead regardless of how the wheels were pointed, sometimes at a forward momentum loss. Selectable lockers for the win.

Sure, selectable lockers are best. Sounds like your front LSD had high torque bias and was likely intended for a rear axle application. They specifically make ones for front axles with lower bias to use up front.

Factory option It wasn’t as bad as the mechanical lockers so fortunately winch assisted steering wasn’t ever required,
since it didn’t have one

edit- 2” lift and the biggest tires it would support, 33’s I think, if that would have an effect?

I've been trying to understand LSD since I was a musician in the 60s.

I was wondering when that going to get mentioned. About time.
