Traction Aid BasicsIn the world of off-road performance products, the differential locker is near the top. A differential locker is mechanism that sits inside of or replaces the differential carrier. The job of a locker is to “lock” both axleshafts in unison so they can rotate at the same speed. Unlike an open differential carrier, which allows for different speeds of the tires as they move through different arcs of a turn and only sends power to the wheel with the least resistance, a locker splits the power between both wheels evenly.
