Locker Differential and Rear Swaybar

Alameda, California

January, 1999

 

The stock "one-legger" open 3:31 12-bolt, while tough, caused the car to spin the right tire all the way through first gear at anything past half throttle.  I picked up a Powertrax locker unit and installed that in the 12-bolt and my traction problems were gone.  Of course, the car clicks like crazy going around corners and it handles a bit squirrelly in the rain, but life is a compromise.  This photo also gives you a nice view of the fat Addco rear swaybar, which helps make the car handle like a cop car.
