Re: auto lockers
Jennifer is using an Detroit Locker. Are you going to tell me it
doesn't release as per it's tests: http://www.tractech.com/TechTips.htm
Jerry, you're so... full of sh*t it's unbelievable, and the very reason
I read this group, is to correct your misinformation.

Re: auto lockers
So in that gobblygook, do you realize the outside tire must release
if it is turned faster, like if the vehicle is being thrown to the right
against the bank as in Jeni's roll, that there's NO drag on that wheel,
like a spool.

Re: auto lockers
Jen used an OxLocker. It acts like a spool that the driver turns on and off.
It does not unlock like an auto locker does. This is cited as a weakness
because when it does not unlock AND the vehicle is on a surface that does
not allow the stress to be released through the tires, then the stress is
released through broken parts.
But, you are talking about how a vehicle is thrown about by the rear axle,
the question is about the front axle. So, thank you again, Captain
BesideThePoint. And, Jen went over for reasons not related to the front
locker.
