Hey guys, i was thinking about buying an Aussie Locker for my front Dana 30 with the Center Axle Disconnect, and was wondering if any of yall have tried any of these, and knew if it would change the street-ability of my jeep on the road with that style locker in it. It appears to be the same type of locker as the lock-right, and the powertrax.
 
Some factory front driveshafts were not balanced. If yours was not then you may find that you'll have some vibes after you add a front locker because the driveshaft will turn all the time.
 
Because the locker is still connected to the short axle shaft going to the front driveshaft. And i know if you have a detroit locker in the front, there will be binding of the driver side shaft while driving and turning b/c the drive shaft and driver side axle are still connected and locked. Will the same be true with the Aussie Locker, or does the aussie locker unlock enough to make up for this.

Since the long side is disconnected it will never unlock. There is no binding even with a Detroit. Would be no different than if you were wheeling with the passenger side wheel in the air.
