What is a differential locker in a vehicle?
A differential locker, also known as a locking differential and a diff locker, is a specialized differential system used in the central, front, or rear differential of a four-wheel drive vehicle, particularly off-road and high-performance cars. It can temporarily "lock" the differential, forcing the two drive wheels to spin at the same speed, which provides enhanced traction and performance when one wheel is slipping. This enhances off-road capabilities, handling, and acceleration performance. Compared to a standard open differential, a differential locker uses a mechanical locking mechanism to improve the vehicle's driving capabilities on low-friction surfaces, such as mud, snow, and other challenging terrain. This is especially useful for four-wheel-drive vehicles, trucks, and high-performance sports cars that require excellent traction.
How to install a different locker?
When you need to replace the car diff locker, you can refer to the following steps：
1. Prepare the vehicle by jacking it up and securing it on jack stands, then drain the differential fluid.
2. Disassemble the differential and remove the differential cover, disconnect the differential from the driveshaft and axles, and disassemble the differential housing to access the internal components.
3. With the differential disassembled, it's time to install the differential locker mechanism by replacing the standard spider gears with the locker unit.
4. Carefully reassemble the differential housing, ensuring proper gear alignment, then reconnect the differential to the driveshaft and axles.
5. Refill the differential with the recommended fluid type and quantity.
6. Test the operation of the differential locker by engaging and disengaging the locking mechanism, ensuring smooth and proper function.
7. Lower the vehicle and test drive, checking for any issues or abnormal noises to complete the installation.
